Mom had two cousins that grew up together. At one point they along with their wives travelled all around the USA in a VW Westfalla. Both also outlived their wives. One lived to within a month of his 100th birthday, Uncle Alfred.

The other, Uncle Wallace, worked for Howard Hughes as some sort of advisor. Came down with cancer, was sent to Mexico and cured. Then given early retirement with a huge pension and the stipulation he called in to HH's secretary and keep his contact information up-to-date if HH could contact him if needed. He had a Mercedes 220D he travelled all over the country in. He came down with Alzheimer's and don't think they ever found all the companies and things he invested in along the way. Uncle Alfred would visit him and find out Uncle Wallace had made a lot of Money. He started building a portfolio for Uncle Walace. Uncle Wallace's daughter found out he had Alzheimer's, came in and took over his estate. The first thing she did was selling off his beloved Mercedes. Uncle Alfred and had a pad poured outside is rest home window to park it on. Said it gave Uncle Wallace a lot of comfort and helped him keep some of his memories. When she sold it (an for not much) it pissed Uncle Alred off an he quit trying to find any investments. He said it was about the treasure hunt and not the money, but he wasn't going to make his niece any richer after she sold the car.
