I've often thought about approaching him and asking if he would like someone to maybe go to the gym with him or just go to the Parkway and start a walking regimen, to see if we could get some weight off of him. I'd be willing to do it. But I really don't know him that well, and I fear he may take it the wrong way. So I've never said anything.
When we gave out fast offerings, we waited to see if they were overweight or not. If they were skinny, they got fast offerings, if not, they could rely upon their two year supplies.

Okay not really. I really don't know any obese people. Consequently, I'm not certain what to say or do for them.
