Harold Hoyle, 98, was surrounded by his four younger brothers and sisters, who all sported a pink or blue t-shirt indicating their respective ages in the middle of a playing card to pay homage to a popular book series that shares their namesake.
“We always joke about their last name by saying ‘According to Hoyle,’ the book of rules for card games, thus the playing card on the shirts with each having one with their age on it,” Harold’s daughter Pam Anderson told the outlet.
