Ward was 3 years older than me. I email someone every morning with an email that is titled
Up. No deep discourse. Just a sentence saying what I plan to do that day. They either
send or reply to me with the same. If we have not heard from each other by 11:00 we try
text. If that does not work we contact their local police and ask for a welfare check. I
also send a daily meme to another person. I may ask if they care to get in on the
scheme.
There are paid services that basically do the same thing.

I think it's worth noting that Ward's body wasn't found until apparently a
couple days after he passed. People had been trying to contact him with no
reply forthcoming, and it wasn't until a couple days later when someone
finally went to check on him that they discovered him dead.
A lot of us are old, some getting older. Just a suggestion: check on your
older friends often and make sure you follow up if you don't hear from them.
