 Man tried to give me all his shit today?

An older gentleman offered to give me his stuff today. He was maybe 45 and didnt look like he had many years left in him. "Take anything you may want." Those were his exact words. Makes me think this guy is all alone, dying, and is sick of life. Poor fella. He looked bad. I didnt ask, but it looked like chemo treatment to me. Had meds lying EVERYWHERE too. Sad. I have to go back there latter next week to finish the job.

That's really sad. Aside from that, it sounds like you hit the jackpot.

No joke.
Bring the guy a twelver and some good books/music/movies/etc. and just chill with him. Listen to him. Make him laugh a bit.
Hope he doesn't take all that the wrong way and places a hand on your thigh.

Yeah, ask him if he wants to smoke with ya. Does wonders for the nausea that chemo drugs cause.

you should try to be hes friend until he passes on or whatever, he probably needs some support and probably doesn't have anyone. but that's just what id do.

i have felt like giving ALL my shit away every once in a while. im not depressed in any way but i really do believe the things we own, own us. i really would do it, but America is just not a place you can do that.
i would say let him know that he still matters. spend time with him, even if you do anything. talking for even a couple minutes with someone can change their mood completely.
