He has gone thru heck and has shown such resiliency for a man in his 70s. He is a great example of someone who never gives up or gets discouraged, he just keep a positive outlook and keeps going. There have been others in their 80s but off the top of my head I can not remember specific screen names.
No matter what you decide, we will be here to support you with info and a place for moral support. Best wishes!
