A friend of mine also has a father the same age as mine, and he hates going out in public with him as he always causes a scene, no matter where they go. Mine on the other hand is fine to be around at all times, except when he wants to talk politics. LOL You are correct in saying age in its self is not the issue, but age with issues can be one. I have nothing against older people, I just don't like being accosted by them in public. But seeing how it doesn't happen that often, I will try to be as understanding as possible, knowing like I said before, that someday I may end up like that.

FYI, we have folks in this forum approaching 80, one over 80. I'm only a few years away.
