Let's tell you a bit about the honorable Vito Perillo the Mayor of Tinton Falls, New Jersey. This Monmouth County Mayor is the oldest Mayor in America, Vito is now 100 years old and he celebrated this milestone birthday this past weekend. According to App.com, "Perillo will turn 100 years old this Sunday, Sept. 22. And he can still devour a piece of birthday cake, drink a cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and run a town. He credits his longevity to years of playing golf and perhaps a glass of wine daily."

 

 

What an accomplishment for the newly crowned "centurion" who hit the big 1-0-0. Mayor Perillo was born on September 22, 1924. Calvin Coolidge was President and gas cost 24 cents a gallon. A lot has changed during Mayor Perillo's lifetime. According to App.com, "I'm happy to be here, but I just want to be remembered for doing a good job," Perillo said. "That's most important."

 

Congratulations to Mayor Perillo and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Here's to many more and congrats on being the oldest Mayor in the Nation! We know Tinton Falls is better for having you serve the community, God Bless :)
