He explained that he met the elderly man sitting in a booth at the Waffle House in Midway, Florida attaching dollar bills to notes.
As he was curious about it, he asked the man why he was doing to that to which he responded that he has been handing over $1 and $5 bills to strangers since 2014.
He said that over the years he has given away more than $13,000 to people and kids he meets at the Waffle House and other places.
He also told Cate that he attaches a note with the phrase “Love Every Body”.

He added that he prints and cuts the notes out every few days.
When asked why he picked that particular phrase, the man replied that those were the last words his mom had told him before she died.
He told Cate: “‘Love everybody,’
“She didn’t say ‘I love you,’ she said ‘love everybody.’ So that’s what I’m doing. Loving everybody.’”
