But he’s also a World War II veteran. And 96 years of age.
And one more thing: he’s fresh off being surprised by the pop star when she just so happened to barge into his Missouri home unannounced on Monday night to not only wish him a happy holiday but to play him some of his favorite songs — for an hour.

The nonagenarian says Swift’s music allows him to connect with his grandchildren. He even saw her in concert before the private show Monday.
“I just liked the way she did stuff,” he told a local reporter.
