True or false depends on the age of that person - LOL.
1. He is very old.
He is too old to walk.
2. Can we include someone in the college basketball team?
No, He is too old for that.

He is very old.
He's getting on, he's old indeed.

He is too old.
For what? For being married? For parachuting?
Some purpose is implied. Too old to do what?
