He died a while back, I think of hypothermia if a remember correctly, Someone said his whole family died in a car wreck which sent him looney.

I thought something might of happened like that. All of a sudden you didn't see him around anymore.
I heard loads of rumours about that guy: that he wasn't actually homeless, that he lived with a wife nearby, that he had tons of disability money, that he gave somebody his purple heart from the war, etc etc. I always thought he was kinda funny, especially with the ladies. "Hey you!! Reach down and touch your toes.....I'll show you where the warm wind blows!!" Followed by a cackle and a dance, then a stagger to go yell at someone else.

His funeral was actually on the news because he had become such a fixture down there.
Most of those rumors were in fact just rumors. He was most definitely homeless and he did not have tonnes of disability money. He had been succesful in the oil business (maybe an engineer in fact) back in the day but his son was killed in an accident and he went hard to the bottle and it cost him the rest of his family (or at least his wife).
