Walter Williams could be cantankerous as well. On his last birthday, at age 117, he had his favorite meal of barbecue pork, though a nurse and his daughter had to feed him.
He hunted with his 101-year-old son and had ridden a horse until he was 103. His last public appearance was in an Armed Forces Day parade in Houston in May 1959 where he rode in an air conditioned ambulance. As he rode past the reviewing stand, he struggled to raise an arm in salute.
