He's said a few times that if it wasn't for me they would have moved a few years ago.
He's a tough old bird. Two rounds of cancer ( now free) a brain bleed and was actually two heart attacks. One inside his house and one in the ambulance. He has slowed down a lot since the heart attacks though. 10 year ago he was cutting up to 20 lawns a week, Raking their leaves in the fall and shoveling their driveway in Winter. He had to leave his job 20 years ago because just like me he lost the sight in one eye and the other wasn't that good either. So he's been doing yard work ever since. Every morning in the Winter he goes to the local mall and walks with a group of people. He'll be 83 next month.
