The caretaker of a mobile home park in a small New Hampshire town has shocked residents after leaving $3.8m (€3.5m) to the community in his will.

Residents of Hinsdale would see Geoffrey Holt around town in threadbare clothes — riding his lawn mower, heading to the convenience store, or parked along the main road reading a newspaper.
