how do we help this guy?

Ish, been rasslin' with that very question -- no good answer.

Part of his pension gets pissed away on scratch tickets, the rest for grub, a daily SlimJim for his dog, gas, and occasional replacement of POS trucks. Sumnabitch won't accept monetary help and seems to have no interest whatsoever in "stuff".

He has a slight physical abnormality that has resulted in the town assigning him an uncomplimentary nick name. The best I've been able to give him is RESPECT, lotsa coffee, and a sympathetic ear. Even have a hell of a time getting him to accept the occasional lunch or dinner.

Whud'ya do?
