Austin resident Richard Overton, who was America’s oldest man and oldest war veteran, has died. Overton, who was honored for his service in World War II and beloved for his propensity to enjoy his supercentenarian status with a cigar in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other, was 112 years old.
