I figured the chances of a 95 year old male living another 9 years was pretty much zero, but the actuary tables don't support that.

See the chart under the heading The Force of Mortality.
Ralph turned 95 last October.
The chart shows that a male who is 95 has a 26.4% chance of dying before his next birthday.
The chart shows that a male who is 96 has a 28.2% chance of dying before his next birthday.
The chart shows that a male who is 97 has a 30.6% chance of dying before his next birthday.
The chart shows that a male who is 98 has a 33.1% chance of dying before his next birthday.
The chart shows that a male who is 99 has a 33.1% chance of dying before his next birthday.
The chart shows that a male who is 100 has a 37.2% chance of dying before his next birthday.
In other words, the odds are in Ralph's favour every year of making his next birthday.
Those are averages and with Ralph's wealth and thus access to the best health care possible, one would think his percentages are even better.
I, therefore, must conclude and say -- GO Russ GO!!!
