I echo what others have said. Offer to do something you're willing/able to do...cook food, mow lawn, or sometimes running interference if someone is getting too clingy to him. Or take him for a beer if you have the time/are back in the same town to give him a distraction.
Just take the initiative and do something instead of waiting to be asked after offering to do something...he has enough on his mind and doesn't need delegating choose to his buddy to be another one.
