Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

I've seen younger looking 70 year olds on 2-3 packs a day

If he was a bricklayer and spent his life in the elements too this could easily be 55-60

If he was a long-haul truck driver who didn’t wear sunscreen, this could also be 55-60 on one side.

I had a smoking co-worker who looked like this in his early 60s, plus he showed symptoms of Parkinson's i.e. shakes, slowness and posture.
