California WWII veteran, 103, shares remarkable life story and advice for young people

A California WWII vet who ran the Nuremberg Opera House — welcoming the likes of Mickey Rooney and Bob Hope — turned 103 last month. Now, he's sharing his tips for a fulfilling life — which include good food, good wine and a wonderful wife.

"I’m Italian, so pasta is the first thing that comes to my mind," Sam Avolicino of Danville told Fox News Digital. 

"I enjoyed my mother’s food for so long. As a kid, I grew up with good, homemade pasta and the Italian custom was you drank a little wine with water because it’s good for the blood. So, maybe that’s an excuse, but it’s OK."
