If you listen to the interviews he gives his voice is shaky and slightly breathless. He is a typical 77 year old in declining health. My mom is 74 and worked in an Indiana factory until 3 years ago. She has a voice with some shakiness and slightly out of breath as well.
Regarding the sound/appearance of any of the folks that have been "looked at"...
I grew up in farm country, have lived as an adult in several States but all of them north of the 45th parallel. I have met many people whose age would be impossible to judge from appearance- both older and younger than they seem. A life outdoors, doing manual labor or living with any degree of self-sufficiency, can affect people very differently. Some folks seem to "not age well" and their skin is more easily damaged by sun and weather, their joints wear out quickly from heavy work and rough terrain. Others, however, thrive on the exercise/physical activity, may eat a simpler/homegrown/"whole food" subsistence diet, and depending on genetic background can appear much younger than their years, and/or live independently well in to their 90s or beyond.
