손주 100명 둔 남성, 108살 생일 맞아 

“Feel good.”

At 108 years old, Izer Tilson says old age is just a 1state of mind.

“I’m happy to be 108, nine girls and six boys. Not bad.”

He 2describes his life like a 3storybook raising 15 children who went on to give him 100 4grandkids. He’s watched grow up over the years.

“I want to live to 128.”

Tilson 5gives a nod to God, saying in addition to his health, the bible is the reason for reaching this 6incredible 7milestone. He says he feels as strong as 8in the peak of his youth when he was in his 20s.

“The only thing I know is I’ve been careful... what I put into mine.”

The milestone is so incredible that the City of Rockford wishes Tilson a happy birthday naming July 4th Izer Tilson Day. Leaders say Tilson was born in Forrest City, Arkansas and worked as a farmer, a 9handyman and even a businessman.

“No sugar, no diabetes. I think we should have the scientists, medical scientists out here.”

Gerline Tilson Norris, the 12th child of Isa Tilson and the one half of his only set of twins, says his greatest 10blessings are his 11faith, family and friends.
