There is a very strong genetic component to life span.

Or, so I tell myself, as almost all of the men in my family have lived to be over 100 years old, so I have hope that I may do the same.

If it's not the genetics, then it's the life habits- which you can inherit too, so take note of how the men in your family lived :)

They were largely hard working, hard drinking, hard smoking guys -- loggers, railroad workers, etc.

Alas, that's not the lifestyle for me.
