There's an elderly guy across the street from me whose wife passed away like 10 years ago and ever since all he wants to do is die and join his wife....well he was really getting up there in age and wasnt able to do alot of stuff like he used to, so me and my wife would make him dinner, go grocery shopping for him, run errands etc...well i noticed his newspapers piled up on his door after returning from a weekend trip out of town. He gave me a key for emergencies so I let myself in and knew immediately he had died by the smell...death is such a unique smell you know it when you smell it...
He was in his bed and the look on his face is something I can't wipe from my mind...
Called his daughter (who didn't give a sh!t) and she asked if we can clean out his fridge cause she couldn't be bothered to come down for a few weeks...went into his kitchen and and mind=blown...all the stuff on his grocery list he had piles and PILES of...like stacks of the same stuff packed into his cupboards and fridge..
....he never needed groceries...he just wanted the company.
At least he's with his wife now.
Cliffs:
-elderly neighbor i took care of passed away
-his daughter doesnt care
-find piles of food that he would have us buy for him in kitchen
-realized he just wanted someone to talk to
-life is short, live now
UPDATE: Scanned pic of neighbor on page 6

Reps for being a good neighbor, brah. Sorry you had to be the one to find him. You should feel good about what you were able to do for the man while he was here.

Its stuff like that which causes me to pay no mind to people who say if you dont have a kids you will be foreveralone. Too many people have kids, spend a good chunk of their life, time and money doing the best they can for them and end up foreveralone anyways.

Depressing as fuk - while waiting for the paramedics to come i was in his hallway looking at his pics of his life and this guy did ALOT...he was a pilot, spent time in the military, has a gang of family and grandkids...and here he is all alone in bed with no one in the world to give a ****..
.....man life is brutal sometimes.

That's really sad. Poor man, living alone at that age...
Thank you and your wife for sharing your time with him. You actually went out of your way to improve someone's life, I'm sure he was grateful for that.reps 4 life: Gif_brah

Damn dude, that's wild. At least he had you and your wife before he passed to be friendly to him, help him out and give him a kind word when his daughter didn't care too.

OP, it is unfortunate that he had passed on but in spirit he is with his wife and he will always be loved and remembered by his close ones. You did a very nice thing to look after him and provide him company in his later, somewhat darker years. May he rest in peace.
You did a wonderful thing OP and you deserve my reps. It is a shame he died alone, and life is brutal, that it is.
Again, may he rest in peace.▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ MEMBER OF THE UF GATOR AND USF BULL NATIONS ▇ ▆ ▅ ▄ ▃ ▂

Wow, that's sad man, I guess you and your wife were his best friends before he passed.
