92-year-old identical twins die on the same day

Identical twins Julian and Adrian Riester were born seconds apart 92 years ago, and died hours apart this week.

The Buffalo-born brothers were also brothers in the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor for 65 years. They spent much of that time working together at St. Bonaventure University, doing carpentry work, gardening and driving visitors.

They both died of heart failure on Thursday at St Anthony Hospital in St Petersburg, Florida - Brother Julian in the morning and Brother Adrian in the evening.

"It really is almost a poetic ending to the remarkable story of their lives," St Bonaventure spokesman Tom Missel said. "Stunning, but hardly surprising given that they did almost everything together."
