He was walking in the rain Tuesday when he got help from a passerby.
"I had to pick him up and I couldn't be one of the ones who would just drive by," Dan Bookhard told Spectrum News Rochester.
Younger’s kids said walking is a way of life for their father.
"My dad's always walked. He says he does it to stay alive," Luthta Younger told Spectrum News Rochester. "He still says, 'Nope I have to get out there to my wife. I have to go.'"
