As we seek so shall we find. His hearing was the main problem.
I said in the beginning he knew what he was doing and he had them in the palm of his hands but, of course, it is a game and each had their own agenda. They chose the scenes. Things were pointed out and he repaired as I said. I went into a lot of vts his charity work, his shows, his chat shows, he is someone to be admired whether we like it or not. He is full of talent.

But then from the other side, if they did nothing for him and told him to do everything for himself, they'd probably still be in the wrong for not helping him.
In my eyes i genuinely don't think that they saw him as 'below' themselves, they saw an old man, who might need help with things so they helped him without questioning it first, it's a natural reaction, if you see an older person walking down the street carrying something that looks heavy, you ask if they need any help, it's natural, i don't think they should be punished for just doing what everyone else would do.
It's not wanting to belittle someone or defame them, it just acknowledging that some old people may need help, whereas a lot of them don't, like Gary, he was capable of doing the majority of things for himself, but the things he couldn't or wouldn't do for himself, he needed a little nudge along in order for him to do so.
