The Candyman

This original submitted content does not necessarily represent the editorial style, standards or view of American Profile.

My uncle who is 97 years old lives in Malvern, Arkansas and he is known as "The Candyman". Jim Issack started visiting the "old folks home" about 40 years ago taking fruit and candy to everyone. He said they all need a hug,  handshake, and someone to talk to that cares. He still drives all over Malvern shares a kind word, a joke, and a sweet treat. All the stores know what he does and they either give or sell the fruit, candy, or small toys  at a cheap price. He is an amazing man.
