Offer the "old dude" any kind of help he could possibly need to extend his life. I am afraid that he is the last one who is still alive.
We used to have one around here, until the parts store was bought out by a conglomerate who thought that it took too long to look stuff up in the fat books and ordered them to be thrown out. Now it is easier to tell someone looking for parts, "We don't carry that. Next in line?"

Long live old dudes and big fat books.
I should probably acquire some big fat parts books before they are all gone.
