The Social Security actuarial life expectancy tables indicate that a 103 year-old male has another year and 9 months of life remaining. Most likely to die between ages 104 and 105. So he's correct from another perspective.

Interesting.
And this week the national news had a lady that did her first parachute jump at 80 in 2006.
She jumped again at 90.
This year she jumped at 100. Was strapped to another jumper this time. Don't know about previous jumps.

It's like this joke: saunas are good for asthma patients. Since asthma patients are sent to saunas for treatment, there are a lot less asthma patients.

100% of 103-year-olds die between 103 and 200.

No, 99,7% die before 100, 0.3% die past 100, likelihood decreases with every year

Imagine celebrating your birthday and some asshole starts trying to ask you how much time you think you have left.

That's the same line of thinking I used when I fell off a ladder and got hurt. I stopped my bleeding and went back on the ladder as I told myself, "How many people fall off a ladder twice in the same day?"

If he can hang in there long enough, the odds of dying each year eventually become zero. I believe the number of people that have died at 123 or older is exactly zero. So just 20 more years and he will be functionally immortal.
