Thanks guys. I know this is a stretch.
He had been a professional flooring installer, owned his own business. Laminate, wood, linolium, etc. It's been years since he has done it, though, and with his back problems I don't know that he could do it. He loved doing missions work and has been doing lots of volunteer stuff. His desire is to get hired on with a church doing some sort of couple/kids ministry or something.
thanks for the bump
