Sarasota resident Sol Carson celebrated his 100th birthday Aug. 15, at the Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Sarasota Inc. The birthday party included cake, singing and family. Carson, a South Philadelphia native, lives in Sarasota with his son, Charles.

Veterans Honoring Veterans performed a pinning ceremony with Carson, who was stationed in Guam in World War II.

While eating his chocolate cake, one of his favorite flavors, Carson shared his secret to living so long: “Live life fully.”
