What Will I Do ?

My neighbor has kids in Florida and want him to close up his house and winter down there.It's a real tempting offer because they are saying this winter is going to be as bad as last year. Last year we has one of the hardest winters that we've had for about 8 years. Last year it was below zero over half the winter and for at least 4 years it didn't even get down to zero. He's over 80 and the warm would be good for him but he doesn't really want to go. Here he knows where everything is and down there he would have to rely on his kids taking him around and he's not happy with that idea. It would be quiet around here since he's a member of our little beer club and with him gone there would only be 2 left.
