Biography[]
Nicolae Pasculescu was born in the village of Cicir, Arad County, Romania on 13 June 1905. As a child, he was sent as an apprentice to a folk craftsman, so he became an innkeeper, a tailor of folk costumes. In his youth, when he opened his business, he was famous all over the Mures valley, from Lipova to Zam. That's how people dressed back then. He was so famous in his era that he received a request from "above" to make a coat for Indira Gandhi (she was the Prime Minister of India for four terms). "The special order came from the Communist Party of Romania. He worked very carefully on this coat, he liked that such an important woman was going to wear it" - Pasculescu said when he turned 107 years. He never liked watching television, because he said that looking at the screen can damage your eyesight. He didn't know what a laptop, mobile phone or audio headphones were.
He became the oldest known living man in Romania, following the death of 107-year-old Nicolae Dumitrescu on 12 September 2011.
Nicolae Pasculescu died in Timisoara, Timiș County, Romania on 8 March 2013 at the age of 107 years. Following his death, then 107-year-old Gheorghe Covaci became the oldest known living man in Romania.
