A warning and maybe a prayer would help

I think that truck needs to be fixed free of charge. Imo. Sometimes it's not about the money but it's about people and this is one of those times.

Elderly people do enough by sticking around and gracing us with their presence.

I am sure sending prayers for a quick recovery. I hope Mr. Tom can heal and get excited about old vehicles again. Sounds like an good ol car guy who got dealt a hand of cards he doesn't deserve.
