So far I like my "investment person". But willing to listen to you educated folk.

Thank you in advance for not being overly condescending, like this forum tends to lean towards.

I am glad the OP asked this question and appreciate all the thoughtful responses as at age 83 I feel myself approaching the same situation, ie., when should I turn over investment decision making to a professional?

If I can find a suitable fee-only independent CFA with both a decent track record and a good reputation I can see myself hiring him or her and reviewing my securities portfolios probably quarterly. My challenge lies in finding that advisor.
