SALAMANCA â A local member of Americaâs âGreatest Generationâ turned 95 years old on Jan. 14. To honor his life and the influence he has had on all who know him, the family of Charles Huntington surprised him with a drive-by birthday parade on Jan. 10.
In celebration of his upcoming birthday, family and friends waved, honked and cheered for Huntington as they drove past the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Chris and Terry Stark, on Lincoln Ave. A procession of more than 30 vehicles lasted a full 10 minutes.
Perhaps one of his keys to longevity is his ability to not worry about everything and to not let âitâ get to him. His daughter, Judy MacMillan, said she asked her father about worrying one day and his response was, âI donât worry about stuff because I canât do anything about it. I just think about all the good things.â
