Allen McCloskey, an 89-year-old grave digger in Galveston, Indiana, is 'out there to help everybody' and is 'just a special guy,' according to his neighbors.
McCloskey is the town's gravedigger, and has been in his job since 1952. He's buried plenty of residents, including his wife Barbara.Steve Hartman / On The Road
He's also worked plenty of odd jobs around town, and treats everyone like family —which might explain why a good chunk of the town gathered recently for a surprise party in McCloskey's honor. At the party, he was honored with an official Guinness World Record for the longest career as a grave digger. The town's residents also honored him for the thousands of odd jobs he's done and the ways he's made life easier for the people of Galveston, all without accepting a single payment. "You'd never hear anything more about it," another added. "Allen has figured out what life is about," one resident of the town said.
