Gene Elliot, 95, wanted to celebrate his birthday the same way he has done for the past 90 years. Thus, he wanted to go to the skating rink!

He has been a patron of Skateland USA in Hickory, North Carolina for decades.

Moreover, he stated that skating was therapeutic for him when his wife passed away 15 years ago. He is now thrilled to have 5 generations of his family roller skating.

“My daughter, she roller skates. My son roller skates. We’re just a roller skating family,” Gene noted.

His desire is to spend his 100th birthday in  the same manner: skating.
