On F. I. L.' S side, he has been doing his thing long before these modern inconveniences called cell phones were invented, He Wasn't worried about coverage, just the modern kids who cant think of being without that worry.
Then you will have to remind him to keep it charged up.
A quick, once a day, " hows it going" call, then you know he is on and can check that he is pumped up, as an idea to calm your nerves.

I do agree with what you are saying to a point. <3 he already get's a phone call once a day from his daughter and he get's a call as much as his son's job allows him time.

He will call me sometimes 4 times a day.......

He lives alone in a 125 year old house. counting the attic, that he goes up to, it is 4 stories tall plus an old cellar basement....... plus an old 'servant' staircase that runs from the bedrooms to the kitchen. He uses those every day......some are not the safest, no handrails and such......

If he would have to leave that house he would have to leave ALL of his workshop stuff, over 600 clocks, a room full of pinball machines, Edison record players .........and the list goes on.

He is not a hoarder. He knows where EVERYTHING is.

If he gets hurt and has to leave that house and his toys and projects he will die. plain and simple.

He is blind in one eye..........but he has fallen on more the one occasion ......he is getting older, slower. It IS dangerous for him to live in that house.

someone takes him food shopping each week because he knows he should not be driving but still does in town when he feels he has to......he takes the back roads......

We give him his dignity and respect that **is** due him. We also know, as he does, he needs to stay in that house because he can not afford anything else big enough to be able to take all and I mean ALL his treasures with him.

My Mother in law has been gone over 15 years. He still talks like she passed away yesterday. for that alone the memories of her and that house......he will stay....... 

so please don't think we don't love and respect him as we do and do for him as best we can but ...... yes, we worry about him as he worries about us.......

Thank YOU for being honest as always. I always know I can count on you to 'tell me like it is' and I love you for that!!! Your sons are very lucky to have you for a father!!

my wife and one of her sisters do a "check up call" on each other each day.
they also ring the rest of her family [she is the oldest of 10 kids]at least once a week.
the daily call is covered up by "What is the latest gossip/scandal??"
it has become a joke, "Oops, the checkup is late today/ [or early] , they chatter away for a couple of minutes, and they are right for another day.
[maybe they use it like a Catholic Confessional Box] 
Sorry for being too old to be PC. at least you know my thoughts.

Any chance of "re-training" him to use the main stairs?, the ones with handrails? mind you the servant's ones are probably quicker.

my kids are running a "Worst Kid gets to clean out Dad's shed. but it is nowhere near F I L 's collection.

>[maybe they use it like a Catholic Confessional Box]

This cracked me up because it's so true and I have no idea or care if it's PC that was FUNNY! :D and true LOLL

>servant's ones are probably quicker.

you hit the nail on the head!  so thinking no loll but why I get upset about the flip phone.....so was easy to use and has HUGE real buttons he can see....... in case he falls and then doesn't lay there......

I will have to go over and take some photos. of his house. It's like a museum. full of really cool things but just so MANY cool things. A lot of them he has made from scratch like the whirlygig above..... or the original Edison player...... so you tell your kids they have it easy!! Oh and don't forget ALL the family heirlooms too that you can not get rid of LOLL 

Yup going to have to go over and film his house for you :D

He is a REAL 'Tool and Die Maker........ * from Wikipedia ~ Traditionally, working from engineering drawings developed by engineers and technologists, tool makers lay out (mark out) the design on the raw material (usually metal), then cut it to size and shape using manually controlled machine tools (such as lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, and jig grinders), power tools (such as die grinders and rotary tools), and hand tools (such as files and honing stones).
