John McMorran of Lakeland, Florida, died of heart failure on Monday, the daily Lakeland Ledger reported. McMorran quit smoking at the age of 97 but continued to enjoy coffee and life. During his last few years, he was a celebrity of sorts, frequently making headlines marking yet another birthday. McMorran was born on June 19, 1889, in a log cabin in the state of Michigan. 'Obviously, he was well-put-together'He was the fourth-oldest person in the world. Japan's Kamato Hongo is the world's oldest person at 115, the paper said. " He was never sick. He lived a great life, " Lisa Saxton, 35, said of her great-grandfather. " Obviously, he was well-put-together. He smoked cigars, drank beer and ate greasy food. He was an amazing man, " she told the paper. In his last years, his eyesight had failed, and he was hard of hearing, but he otherwise enjoyed good health until developing complications related to pneumonia last week.
