Oldest first-time grandfather

The oldest first-time grandfather is Normand Tousignant (USA, b. 29 August 1930) at the age of 92 years 24 days, achieved in Matthews, North Carolina, USA, on 22 September 2022.

At 92 years and 24 days old, Normand, born August 29, 1930, became a first-time grandfather when his granddaughter Madison was born on September 22, 2022, the only child of his only child. Now 95 (turning 96 this August), he relocated last year from the Washington, DC suburbs to the Charlotte, NC area to be closer to his growing family. Family members say the arrival of his first grandchild, after a long-held dream of one day becoming a grandfather, has brought him renewed vitality and purpose in his later years.
