Aaron Como, fondly known as “Pa Como”, celebrated his 100th birthday with family in Strand on Saturday (16 November). The centenarian was born in Mozambique and spent most of his childhood and life in Cape Town, married in 1953 and had nine children. Today, Pa Como and his dear wife Claire have eight living children, 27 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren and 19 great-great-grandchildren. His love for his wife, family and faith in God all contribute to his longevity. Despite losing his sight nearly 20 years ago due to his advanced age, Pa Como truly has the Bible written on the table of his heart. Pa Como often tells stories of how he has seen the different local neighbourhoods develop. He loved his dogs and tending his home garden, worked as a cook at local hospitals, and most of all evangelised and preached the word of God from a young age. Pictured with Pa Como is one of his sons, Daniel.
