The old boy lasted a long time. Salutes to him!
Is this the French form of Lazarus, Skip? If so, it is quite appropriate, it seems.

Re: WWI vet died.
It sure is and it is very appropriate, thank you for making me think of it. Lazare is quite famous in France. It's the name of one of the main stations in Paris.
