Grandpa wasn't playing games. One does not mess with anyone of respectable stature in a small town, without some serious ramifications. Earl clearly underestimated Grandpa's financial assets. We can't imagine how full Grandpa's heart must've been when he showed up to that garage with the local sheriff to break the news to Earl.

Says he did as he was told, and it shouldn't have taken him 4 months to bring the issue up. My Grandpa tells Earl he needs to do whats right. Earl refuses. Its important to note, this is a small town. Written contracts, and so forth really isn't a thing. Your worth is your word. My Grandpa tells Earl he's going get him for this. Earl laughs and tells him to leave his shop.

My Grandpa also mentions that he has a son (my father) who needs something to do, and he'd be happy to buy the whole building from Harold for a fair price, and what happens after that is his business. Also its important to note, when Harold decided to rent this busin
