Joe Rollino World’s Strongest Man. The 104-year-old Brooklynite, who once lifted 635 pounds with one finger and lifted 475 pounds with his teeth and bent quarters with his fingers, passed away yesterday morning after being struck by a van while out for his daily five mile walk.
On Monday morning, Mr. Rollino went for a walk in his Brooklyn neighborhood, a daily routine.
It was part of the Great Joe Rollino’s greatest feat, a display of physical dexterity and stamina so subtle that it revealed itself only if you happened to ask him his date of birth: March 19, 1905. He was 104 years old and counting.
A few minutes before 7 a.m., as Mr. Rollino was crossing Bay Ridge Parkway at 13th Avenue, a 1999 Ford Windstar minivan struck him.
