Interesting read. I'm glad to finally know what was going on with him, albeit sad. "Adventure is the respectful pursuit of trouble." - Expedition Overland

Glad you liked it. Your story stuck with me since I first read it. Glad to finish the story but yeah it is so very sad.
He had no surviving family at all and his obituary read "will be missed by his friends and neighbours" but GS talked to the closest neighbours and they didn't even know him. http://myabandonmentissues.blogspot.ca/

He was probably the kind of senior that kept to himself, watching tv. When Caught Always, Always Use the Jim trick.

I don't think he had a TV.
But that sort of thing - Very introverted lonely life - Reminds me of the song 'in the end' By Alex lifeson.
"He opens the books-looks at the scenes from yesterday How they laughed and loved and lived before they grew old and grey Now he sits alone in his room, and the clock ticks away
Together they enjoyed all life's beauty and all its fears The lonely cry of his soul falls only on his ears Each page's photo marked with the stain of his tears" When Caught Always, Always Use the Jim trick.
