"Shout out to this guy!" Craft wrote on Facebook.

"This elderly lady (seemed to be a little lonely) came up to him and asked if she could sit with him. Without hesitation, this guy said 'of course'. My friends and I watched him introduce himself and shake her hand.

They talked and laughed together like they were friends. They didn't know each other, and they couldn't be more different.

But today they shared a meal together and it touched our hearts."
