My dad lived on an Airpark. There was one old guy, Cliff, who literally had the answer to any aircraft related problem, but absolutely no sense of money management. He was in his 80's, and was in the last months of a reverse mortgage with a Cessna in his hanger, enough parts to build at least one more Cessna, all the tools you could want and who all knows what else, plus a hoarders ransom of crap in his house and hanger. Packed to the gills. The bank was starting to hound him to get ready to get out of their house, because they were about to take it over. He outlived his reverse mortgage - probably by a long shot.

My dad died before Cliff had to vacate, and we had cleaned out and sold dads property and real estate so I never heard what became of him. Felt really bad for his family.
