Why not celebrate it?

The man seems to enjoy his work. As long as he could retire if he wants, there's no problem there, and the article doesn't cover that info.

There's nothing wrong with doing something as work at any age, so long as the worker is given freedom and respect.

This dude wants to keep going, I say party on. Celebrate him being that age and not only in good enough health to keep doing a job he enjoys, but being recognized for having done it well enough to have kept doing it all those decades.

Don't get me wrong, I despise the grind, and I despise the way workers, labor, are treated as a commodity. But when an individual person is happy with their life, and their job is part of that, that's a thing of goodness. This guy has spent his working life getting things where they need to go. That's a pretty damn important job, enough that he's considered an essential worker. Here in the US, truckers are the lifeline that keeps us going. I don't know about elsewhere, but something similar has to be in place for a complex society amd economy to exist at all.

We should a absolutely celebrate a man, a human, having led a life they're satisfied with.
