Allan Ganz spent about 74 years as the icecream man, which is longer than anyone else, and a certified Guinness record. He captured the record at his 67th year selling icecream in 2018. Sadly, he passed away in 2021.
Allan joined his father's ice cream truck and starting selling with his dad at the age of 10 in 1947. Then, they sold in the cities of Everett and Malden, Massachusetts, each right outside Boston. Ganz continued working with his dad until he was 19. After a 22-month stint in the armed forces, he returned to selling with his dad and hasn't stopped serving since.

In his later yers Allan it was estimated that Allan knew about 90% of his customers and even had charge accounts set up with parents who wanted their kids to be able to get icecream without having to bring money.
