A World War II veteran from Delaware County celebrated his 104th birthday.
Joseph Passaretti, a decorated World War II US Army veteran met with family, friends and Folcroft city officials Friday at his beloved Folcroft Diner to celebrate his 104th birthday.
He was greeted with a cake and the crowd sang happy birthday to him.
Mr. Passaretti is in good health, his family says, and frequents the diner once a week with friends for breakfast.
His family also says he is very proud of his military service and still wears his uniform for special occasions.
