A 99-year-old New York man walks six miles a day to visit his beloved wife of 55 years in the hospital.

Luther Younger lives in the city of Rochester, and as a former Marine who fought in the Korean War, he’s known for being strong and independent. He even runs part of the three miles each way from his home to Strong Memorial Hospital, according to CBS.
