1/2 Flush on a paired board (strange hand)

Hand happened a few days ago, so forgive me if I have some of the details slightly incorrect.
1/2 NL, I have ~750 in front of me and cover the table. Reads: UTG is a kinda nitty old guy who has played kinda strangely
Pretty loose, passive game. UTG and UTG+1 (on a short stack) call, I call from UTG+2 w/ 69cc, UTG+3 raises to 25 2 calls behind him, BB calls, as do UTG +1 and +2.
6 to the flop ($90)- 7c, Jc, 3x.
Checks around to UTG+3- the raiser- who bets ~40. Folds around to UTG who calls and UTG+1 calls all in for ~38. I call.
Turn (pot~$250): Kc.
UTG checks, UTG+1 is all in, I bet $150. UTG+3 tank folds, and UTG calls pretty quickly.
River (pot~250, side pot=300): Kx
UTG snap shoves for just over $200. UTG+1 gets up and leaves knowing he is beat. This is problematic, as I would normally get to see UTG's hand at showdown, something which we as a table should have the right to have. I tank and tank and think and fold. Never get to see old guy's hand.
How'd I do? Feedback on all streets welcome.

i like the fold... he either puts you on some sort of kx or a flush, and i dont think hes giving you enough credit to fold either of those, so a bluff here seems unlikely. you played the hand fine.

The only real problem the more I look at this hand is that I'm getting 4.5 to 1 on a call and he could be very easily overvaluing a king or misreading his hand since he was about 70+. I don't think he's capable of a bluff here, especially into a board that pairs on the river.
Looking at it closer, I can't find any hands where he would flop a set and not bet or raise the flop. The only hand really consistant with his play is KJ- I just don't know. I should have just paid to see it, I think.

Yea tough spot, I also find it hard to believe he flopped a set the way the action fell, I feel he could be over-valuing a king (senior citizen playing live 1/2 this is very possible) but ultimately the only real hand that would take this line is KJ or some weird Krag hand that filled up. Tough call but I think personally I'd have to call and see the bad news

Limp/call 12.5xBB preflop with 9c6c seems a bit off

I'd fold pre, you need to be a bit more deep to play 69cc there. Id call river given our odds and hope to see AcKx or something. JJ is also extremely likely with the small flop bet though.

I stopped at reading that you called a limp with 96s in EP. Fold this pf.
Don't make me quote limon.
