When is best time of day to call up an 80-year old on the phone?

I need to make a call to a person in his 80's. I don't know him at all but he is neighbors of one of my friends. I need a favor so I don't want to piss him off by, for example, prematurely waking him up from a nap.
My gut tells me that noon is safe but hoping for some feedback.

2:30 PM. Right before dinner.

10am. Between breakfast, lunch, and nap.

5 minutes after Jeopardy is over in his local market

Tough question, for sure. I would feel pretty safe from about 7:30am until noon. After that is lunch and nap.

call Luby's and ask them what are their busiest hours
don't call then
honestly,I think noon thirty is a good time, they eat at 11 and take 3o minute to drive the mile home

Before the 5 o'clock news. Or after the 6:00 news and you can spend an hour talking about that.

Elderly folk tend to be early risers.
You can't go wrong with 9:00 AM.
He's probably thinking about lunch by then.

After his morning responsibilities, around 4:30am

He has probably been up since 5:00 am.
When you wake up, call to let him know you will be there at 11:00 to have lunch, drop off his groceries, and mow his lawn.
Take care of your Paw-Paws, y'all!

Anytime is the right time. They're just glad to talk with someone.

I have to contact elderly landowners on the reg. I have my best results calling them mid-morning.

Sometime after the arthritis medicine kicks in but before the Viagra does.
