Grady,
Nice of you to seriously consider helping him. I suspect he is reaching toward the bottom of the barrel by contacting you after 15 years. Could be he has used up his other resources. If at 30+ years old, he hasn't gotten his act together, I don't know if I would be of much help. As has been said before, you can't help everyone. I learned by getting burned a couple of times. That doesn't mean I won't help someone again, but it does mean I won't help more than what it takes to give them a kick start on their way with them being responsible for themselves after that. I wouldn't let him know where I lived. I would meet with him a couple of times. Once to get a feel for what is actually going on with him - if you can. After that, I would consider setting him up with a job prospect. But getting the job & keeping it would be his responsibility. With an income, he should be able to fend for himself. You don't have to fend for him.
