Tinton Falls Mayor Vito Perillo, the oldest serving mayor in the United States died on Saturday night at the age of 100. A World War II veteran, his passion for community and energy levels defied the limits of age. An inspiration to many, twice elected as Tinton Falls Mayor at the age of 93 and 97, he proved that it is never too late to start anew.
Remarkably active even at the age of 93, he was known to go door to door handing out thousands of flyers during his election campaign in 2017. It is reported that he walked so much during that time that he wore off two pairs of his shoes.
