Wow, this is kind of tough since we do not know any of their interests except gardening. You could take him and his wife out for dinner (do not go unless his wife is there). Or invite them over for a nice dinner, homemade by you. There are several things that you could do but I would guess if these neighbors really think the world of you the very best thing you could do is spend some time with them.

We live next door to an older couple also and he is always sharing his veggies with us which is great we really enjoy his company even though they are older then us. What I do to show our appreciation of their friendship is many little things. Once I brought them a hummingbird feeder w the juice made up and placed it in their yard. They LOVED that. I have purchased flowers for their yard and spent the afternoon with them and planted the flowers for them after we walked around the yard and they told me where they would like them planted. Sometimes when I am making a nice meal for hubby I make
them a plate and bring it over to them, which they love. Sometimes, I just stop by the bakery and pick up something ymmmy and make a pot of coffee and bring it all over for an few hours of fun and laughter.
Whatever you do always take the time to stop and talk and spend some time with them. They always tell me I am like a daughter they never had. And maybe that is the case with you and them. Hope this has given you some ideals...good luck you sound like a very special person!
