Romanian term or phrase: moş

Buna! Nu reusesc sa gasesc o traducere multumitoare pentru "moş", care sa denote familiaritate, intr-un mod relativ afectuos, sau macar sa nu fie peiorativ ("old geezer", "oldtimer" ies din discutie).. Ce-am gasit eu - "oldster" nu-mi place, "old man" parca e un pic prea general... Apreciez orice sugestie! Multumesc! :)
