Shall we say goodbye to Peter Oakley aka geriatric1927?
Not sure if any of you might know who that is. Perhaps one or two.
He was an elderly vlogger very popular on YouTube. Often called Grandpa YouTube.
His death has saddened me greatly.
Here is one of the lovely vlogs he did.
The Old Tree
His over 400 videos will live on. Did you know who he was?

I hadn’t heard of him until this question was posted, but it’s always sad to see someone go. I think I need to watch some of his videos.
Never heard of the man and think it is pretty cool he made all those videos. My first impression was he reminds me a lot of an older Wallace
Thanks for sharing. I have a cassette tape of my grandfather, who was born in 1904, telling stories from his childhood to me when he was around 85. It is very special.
I had never heard of geriatric1927, but I will watch a few videos today.
@GloPro My grandfather made me a cassette tape, too, it’s really cool.
geriatric1927 reminds me of an elderly college professor, thanks for sharing, love it.
I hadn’t heard of him until @anniereborn told me about him last night but I think what he did was amazing. I love to see the older generation embracing technology and using it to reach out to the young. I was browsing some of the videos of remembrance that were posted in the days after his death and nearly all of them were from young fans. And that is just brilliant.
