Man celebrates 101st birthday at work

A US man spent his 101st birthday at work in the job he has held for an astonishing 73 years.

Herman 'Hy' Goldman still works four days a week at light fixtures company Capitol Lighting in East Hanover, New Jersey.

He used to say that he would retire at 100 but when he reached the milestone, he changed his mind. His co-workers celebrated his latest birthday with him.

Aside from a brief absence to serve in the US Army in the Second World War, Mr Goldman has worked for the firm since 1941.

The store says he was first hired to sell items and stock and clean the displays.

Co-worker Sandy Ronco says Mr Goldman now specialises in rebuilding items that were damaged or unusable.

Mr Goldman lives in nearby Whippany and still drives himself to work.

He looks great for his age. More power to him!

That'll probably be my grandpa. He's nearly 90 and still works a couple days a week.
