This is the resource I would leverage. I certainly wouldn't dismiss his advice. Why does he feel the way he does? What does he know that you may not? Perhaps the two of you could make an arrangement? Perhaps he wants out and you could buy him out over time and take his work load over? Will he sell you a little square of land to build a house if you help him out till he's ready to part with the business? He certainly doesn't sound too happy with is life at the moment....
