Meet Julio

Julio is 87 years old. He's healthy for his age, but uses a cane at times. After a long hardworking life, Julio wants to spend time with his family and his few friends that are still alive. He had to cut down on alcohol and cigarettes, now he has one drink and one smoke a day - at the same time of course. He has cataract on both eyes. Julio operated one of the eyes already, and soon will be back at the hospital to fix the right eye. His passions are to go on a walk and to eat fresh fruits.

He's usually dressed more casual, but still likes to put his best outfit for special occasion.
