Lawrence Stiles, a resident of Moncton, reached the significant milestone of 104 years on Friday. Despite not having a specific secret to his longevity, he advises younger generations to “stay out of trouble.” Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, previous birthday celebrations were subdued, prompting his family to request 104 birthday cards from the public to commemorate this special occasion. In a heartwarming response, Stiles received a remarkable 160 cards from near and far, including messages from elementary school students and community members. Expressing his gratitude, Stiles acknowledged the “wonderful” gesture, though he noted that reading through the cards may take some time. His family and friends remain hopeful that he will continue to enjoy good health and be surrounded by love in the years to come.
