The Man with Nine Lives: Heinrich Villing

Have you ever cheated death once? Twice? Three times has to be pushing it, right?

Well, Heinrich Villing has cheated death several times, from being shot in the eye as a kid to witnessing bombings at the start of WWII to being drafted and wounded and taken to a POW camp. After the war, he then traveled Europe on a motorcycle for two months with his best friend and only $400. He eventually emigrated to Canada and had open-heart surgery.

Heinrich has celebrated his ninety-fifth birthday and is still up to mischief.
