Never let anyone tell you that you are to young or old to do something! Miguel Cruz turns 103 years old this summer and he still makes time to drive to Brooklyn to play at his favorite pool hall. Yes, drive! Miguel Angel Cruz was born in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, on Aug. 19, 1911, according to his birth certificate. He came to New York by boat with his family in 1936. He was raised in Marcy Houses and called Brooklyn his home for more than 60 years.

As he got older in age, he moved to New jersey to be closer to his children. He told the NYDN, “I have to like New Jersey now because my children are here and I need to live near them, but I’m a New Yorker! Greatest city in the world.”

Cruz is known to rent a car from his local Enterprise office and drive to his old church, Transfiguration Parish, in Brooklyn.“When he told me he had rented a car and drove to Brooklyn in November and December, my mouth dropped,” said Krauss, a schoolteacher who lives a few minutes from her father. “I told him, ‘Dad, it’s not such a good idea for you to drive anymore — you could have a heart attack.’

He screamed back, “So could you!”

Ha!

Cruz is looking forward to his family gathering at Lola’s Latin Bistro in Metuchen for his 103rd birthday. To stay in shape, he jogs up and down his apartment hallway and has a busy social life.

His secret? “Stay Busy!” Good for him! We wish him many more years.
