A weekly visit for Waylon, 73, who lives alone in Allentown

Looking for a friendly person in Allentown to visit Waylon once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Waylon, who's 73. Waylon lives alone in Allentown, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Waylon loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Thank you so much.
