    What an admirable man. He never gave up at whatever life threw at him, turned his life around. Respect Sir.

    Being homeless in somewhere warm like California is a lot easier than in the North. The biggest challenge for the homeless in Canada is not freezing to death.

      the homeless in California have it goooood lmao Its cold as fuck in Toronto for more than half the year and a result we do have initatives and services that provide shelter/food/basic needs because of the fatal weather.

      Yeah but it was probably better to be homeless in California back in the day when he was homeless instead of now where it's a crazy place .

      True but it also would be really fun to go riding Harleys with him ... or even riding on some great back roads in a car that was hugging the road and doing the chatting while looking at the scenery ... then you go with him to that place for the margaritas and the snacks .

      Yes it's true I remember reading comments of people living in their vehicles talkin about how they look for people who are living in their vehicles so they can give them fines , very depressing some of the comments about 6 years ago ... I can only imagine how much worse it is now for many people since covid .

      What it said in Wikipedia about him sleeping in the twenty-year-old Rolls-Royce I think happened later ... putting together all his stories I'm under the impression he was sort of homeless more than once .
      If you listen to what he said in this interview he will tell you he was too proud to ask family or friends for help and he knew that if he had gone to his mom's house she would have loved to have had him and her grandson there .
      He says it was stupid that he didn't ask for help .
