The town of Galveston, Indiana, US, recently honored Allen McCloskey, the town gravedigger and all-around good citizen. According to his neighbors, he is “out there to help everybody and is just a special guy.” He’s been the town gravedigger for 70 years and was honored, in part, with an official Guinness World Record for the longest career as a grave digger. The town also honored him for the thousands of odd jobs that he’s done and ways he’s made life easier for the people of Galveston, all without accepting a single payment. “Allen has figured out what life is about. It’s not the money that makes him happy. I truly believe that Allen has figured out where enough is at. He’s found ‘enough,’” said one town resident.
