A Delphos area WWII vet turns 100

DELPHOS, OH (WLIO) - The Delphos Knights of Columbus was hopping Sunday afternoon to help celebrate a World War II veteran turning 100 years old. Harold Liebrecht hits the century mark on September 10th, but family, friends, and even an old classmate got the party started early. Liebrecht is known for being a mister fix-it and credits God for his longevity. He also likes to square dance, so we caught up between dances to him to ask him why he likes dancing so much.

“That’s all we done when we run around, that’s what our dances was back in the ’30s and ’40s,” says Liebrecht.

“Is this going to be a great day for you?” asked the reporter.

“Oh yeah, I will never forget it,” chuckles Liebrecht.

Liebrecht has 3 children, 11 grandkids, nearly 17 great-grandkids, and 2 great-great grandkids to be proud of, and they are all proud of him. Have a Happy Birthday Harry!
