I met Bubby in a used office furniture store in the valley, while I was helping a friend pick out a computer desk. He’s 83, and works part-time in the store - mainly to keep “my mind busy.” Born Berwyn, to the son of a Russian barber, he’s been called Bubby since he was 2-years-old in Chicago. After losing his business and then going through a divorce, Bubby moved to LA to find a “new lifestyle… which I found.” He also found another wife, who he’s been married to for 27 years. He’s now a grandfather, with three biological children and two step children. He loves his family, he loves to play tennis, and he loves to work. And he never wants to stop working – “I’m not in it strictly for the money. I like the idea of talking to people and meeting people.” So do I, Bubby.
Bubby, age 83.

Bubby's a sweetheart. Some people when they grow into old age regain a sweetness they had once as a child. God bless you Bubby. Thanks, Seth.
