Kinda reminds me of my Dad.

He would(and still does) share stories about other people's lives, who he met through work, like a former NFL lineman from the undefeated Miami Dolphins squad; the guy who shot all the animals who are now on display at one of the Cabela's in Minnesota; a descendant of the guy who founded Pabst Blue Ribbon; etc

But if you would see how he ended conversations you think he was a complete dick sometimes but he genuinely enjoyed learning a bit about everybody he would talk to he just didn't want to talk forever with you.
