Marvin Rodemsky celebrated his 102nd birthday Sept. 5.
When asked what’s his secret to his long life, he said he just doesn’t know
“I can’t figure it out myself probably having a shot of whiskey and a beer chaser and limburger cheese. Yea probably,” Rodemsky said.
To help celebrate Marvin’s big day his family asked anyone willing to send him a birthday card including the second and third grade classes at Millington Elementary school.
The family said the bundle of cards have exceeded expectations.
