Ouch. I still have a shovel, and I am not afraid to use it.

If it comes down to layoffs, I don't think you have to worry. You're too valuable. I think (hope) that other than his sons, you would be the very last person on the chopping block. You know the job too well, and you make a habit of making certain things are right.

I think you only have to worry if the business shuts down completely.

Of course, I could be wrong.
