McCain's Mother Is Long Lived, But How Old Was His Father When He Passed On

[Me.]

Age isn't always an issue but given his 'senior' moments lately I think it has become one. His response to the age question is that his mother is long lived and still a very vital person. True. But that is only half the equation and the straight talk express never mentions that his father was 71 when he died. The same age John McCain is now.

John Sidney McCain, Jr. (January 17, 1911–March 22, 1981)
