Reported byOPB ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Beryl Dillman turned 108 on October 1 at his assisted living home in Eugene, Oregon, with cake, 108 balloons and a first meeting with his newest great-grandchild. He credits a positive attitude, a careful diet and never drinking alcohol.
His family believes he may be Oregon's oldest man; that has not been officially confirmed.
