At 104 years old, Francesco ‘Maas Daddy’ Griffiths still does something that leaves his neighbours in awe. Without opening a Bible, he can recite scripture word for word, his voice steady and his memory remarkably sharp.

While many younger persons might struggle to recall a verse, Griffiths delivers entire passages with confidence, proving that age has done little to dull his mind.

The Thornton, St Elizabeth, resident says he considers his sharp memory, good hearing and clear eyesight among God’s greatest blessings.
