(KSL News) A lot happens in 100 years, and one Taylorsville man has literally seen it all.

John Affleck turned 100 today.

He credits his longevity to never smoking, never drinking and exercise.

In fact, Affleck still walks at least a mile a day.

He says, "I didn't give it much thought, but it gradually crept up on me, and well, here it is and I feel fine."
