The family and friends of an Ogden man gathered Monday to celebrate his 102nd birthday. "Every day I learn something new, and that's how you keep young, keep your mind going," Jim Favero told FOX 13. Favero, born October 8, 1916, served in the military during World War II, and he credits "proper eating, hard work and exercise" for his longevity.

A patient care coordinator for Applegate Homecare & Hospice shared the following bio about Favero: Jim Favero was born October 8, 1916, the second oldest of thirteen boys and one girl born to Italian immigrant, Giovanni Favero, and Hazel Daley, the daughter of early Utah pioneers. Jim was born in a small home in Roy, Utah, raised in Taylor, Utah, and lived the majority of his adult life in Ogden. Jim married Marguerite Della Maw on November 6, 1940 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and they had two children, a daughter, Jeanie, and a son, Randy.
