Question: If you could give young people a piece of advice, what would it be? Answer: “Don’t eat too much. My longevity is probably because my wife wouldn’t let me have as much salt as I wanted. She’s a very good cook. She helps me watch what I eat. Some people eat lots of salt and too many sweets. Many many young people eat fast food with all the salt and just look at the obesity.” – Tony Snyder, resident Friendship Village Sunset Hills #WeAreFriendshipVillage #retirementcommunity #seniorliving #independentliving #assistedliving #memorycare […]

Question: How did you get started with sports growing up? Answer: “I’m a people person and I like to do different things. A book is nice, but I need to do something more hands-on. My whole life, I’ve belonged to several different groups. My mother was quite social, so I may have gotten that personality trait from her. She always belonged to a number of different groups and did a lot of things. When I was in my house, I was in two different quilting guilds and now since I’ve […]

Question: How did you get started with sports growing up? Answer: “Early on I played a lot of baseball and tennis. Growing up I played on two baseball teams since we didn’t have baseball through the school. From there I just kind of hung in there with sports. I watch sports as much as I can now. Having played, I enjoy watching it because I sit and think, ‘It would’ve been nice to continue on playing later down the line.’ One spring in 1948, we were down playing at the […]

Question: Some people like scary movies and like to be scared. Do you? Answer: “No. Absolutely not. There’s too many things in life that aren’t scary that I’d like to be involved in. I don’t like scary things. I don’t need ‘em.” – Pat Weber, resident Friendship Village Sunset Hills #WeAreFriendshipVillage #retirementcommunity #seniorliving #independentliving #assistedliving #memorycare #fvathome The text and photo above are part of a year-long project called We Are Friendship Village.

Question: How would you describe yourself and why? Answer: “I like to think I’m a friendly person. My mother yelled a lot when I was growing up and my dad worked six days a week, so he wasn’t around much. Because of that, I have always had a strong desire to be different than how I was brought up. My friends had families that would go and do things and I always have had a desire and wanted that also. I’m a social person. I like to talk to people […]

Question: What is your favorite thing to do? Answer: “My favorite thing is to play pool. It’s a good hobby. It keeps my mind concentrated. I used to play pool a long time ago when I was working, but I’m happy I’m playing now (at Friendship Village). And I really like working on puzzles, too. It keeps my mind concentrated.” – Ron Hrin, resident, Friendship Village Sunset Hills #WeAreFriendshipVillage #retirementcommunity #seniorliving #independentliving #assistedliving #memorycare #fvathome The text and photo above are part of a year-long project called We Are Friendship […]
