Robert C. Byrd passed.

The passing of Senator Robert C. Byrd (West Virginia) is tough for me.

My grandmother Donna Keessee had grown up in the same area as Robert Byrd (Sophia – Crab Orchard, W.Va.). She had passed away several years ago. I know she would have been real upset about the passing of Byrd if she was still alive today.

Byrd was a legend in this state. He has done more for West Virginia than anyone else I know.

He’ll truly be missed by many.

I have felt quite depressed over this today.

It is also a good reminder that none of us live forever. Byrd was 92-years-old.

He did a lot with his life. He had set many records in the U.S. senate, being the long-serving Senator and Congressman in history. He had never lost an election. He carried all 55 W.Va. counties in some elections. Byrd had also written the book on the history of the Senate.

What are you doing with your life? Are you following your dreams? Are you going for what you want? Life on Earth is limited. None of us live forever.

U.S. Senator is 92-years-old.

I've been posting several blog entries on people working in the elderly years.

Realize that many recreational therapists work with the elderly. This is fast growing population in the U.S.

Recently posted about a 100-year-old physician and a 102-year-old judge who were both still working.

Believe that keeping active in a job that a person truly loves could be a secret to longevity.

Robert C. Byrd is the senior senator from West Virginia. He’s worked with every U.S. President since Harry S. Truman.

Byrd is not only the eldest senator at the time; he is the longest-serving congressman in history. Byrd was elected to an unprecedented 9th term in the senate.

Please note that, I, Danny Pettry, am not advocating for any political views at my blog. I am point out people who are still working in their senior years.

Here is a short youtube video on Byrd:
