Biography[]

Adrianus van der Vaart was born on a farm in Wilnis on 26 December 1901. He lived in the town his entire life. He worked as an insurance agent and carpet dealer. Following the loss of his hearing and speech, he invented a sign language with his daughter in-law Corry in order to communicate with her. Until shortly before his death, he drank port wine and smoked cigars, but quit due to health concerns. He became the oldest living man in the Netherlands after the death of Jan van der Giessen on 19 March 2008. He died 4 months later at the age of 106 years, 215 days. 106-year old Jos Wijnant became the country's oldest living man.
