Richard Huffman, an 82-year-old resident of our Cokesbury Village community, is proving it’s never too late to discover a new passion.

Richard was recently featured on the “Old People Rock!” podcast, where he shared his extraordinary journey to becoming an aerial sling and trapeze performer — activities he didn’t begin until his 60s and 70s. During the conversation, Richard reflects on the experiences that shaped his life, the hobbies that continue to challenge him, and his philosophy on staying active and engaged.

Listeners also get an authentic glimpse into life at Cokesbury Village as Richard talks about his cottage, the community’s fitness opportunities, and the convenient location that allows him to easily travel between the cities he enjoys visiting.

Richard’s story is a powerful reminder that healthy aging isn’t about slowing down — it’s about continuing to grow, explore, and embrace new opportunities and interests at every stage of life.
