It\u2019s not every day one celebrates their 100th<\/sup> birthday. For Pacifica Senior Living<\/a> resident Theodore Albertus Mertz, a World War II veteran, his 100th<\/sup> year was commemorated in style.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacifica Senior Living is a dynamic organization with communities across the U.S. Utilizing Yardi solutions in senior living<\/a> since 2009, Pacifica provides personalized care services in independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, namaste therapy hospice and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacifica honored Theodore with a 100-year birthday celebration at their Vacaville community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, the celebration is highlighted in this summer edition of Vacaville Magazine<\/a>. The feature covers Theodore\u2019s life story, his honorable war service and the Pacifica-led birthday extravaganza. We\u2019re pleased to share a highlight here on The Balance Sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacifica honors veteran resident<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early June, Theodore was honored with a gathering of local citizens, the Vacaville Fire Department, Travis Air Force Base and more. Over 200 vehicles passed by Pacifica Vacaville in commemoration of Theodore\u2019s 100th<\/sup> birthday \u2014 and war service. Visitors also showed their appreciation with special gifts and heartfelt tributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so proud that this inspiring World War II Veteran and Centenarian is part of our community,\u201d shared Pacifica on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special gathering was made possible by Pacifica Community Relations Director Rosa Gracida, who noted Theodore\u2019s upcoming birthday when he became a resident. She crafted the idea for a 100-car parade to memorialize his 100 years and to no surprise, local agencies were honored to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a milestone,\u201d said Gracida in Vacaville Magazine<\/a>. \u201cI just feel so blessed \u2014 this is part of our story, our freedom. My heart just feels so full. He deserves all the respect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theodore\u2019s Navy career began in 1941 where he was stationed in the Philippines. From inspecting and repairing aircraft\u2019s mechanical systems to working as a spotter, Theodore\u2019s commendable service was expansive. He left the military in 1945 but stayed in the Philippines where he met his wife, Claire. The two went on to start a family that would grow for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite losing his wife to diabetes in 2005 and now living with dementia himself, Theodore is described by those closest to him as an easy going, happy person. He contributes his longevity to his positive attitude, which he\u2019ll surely uphold in his 101st<\/sup> year at Pacifica Vacaville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
