Summary 92 year old identical twins Julian and Adrian Riester died on the same day of heart failure.

Buffalo-born identical twins Julian and Adrian Riester were born seconds apart 92 years ago but died at the same day hours apart of heart failure. Julian died in the morning and Adrian passed away in the evening.Julian and Adrian Riester were born on March 27, 1919, to a couple who already had five daughters. They spent much of that time working together at St. Bonaventure University, doing carpentry work, gardening and driving visitors to and from the airport and around town.They did almost everything together. After serving parishes in Buffalo for 17 years, they returned to St. Bonaventure in 1973 and spent the next 35 years there. The brothers were Franciscan friars for 65 years. Their deaths on the same day is an almost poetic ending to their lives.
