Just another vote here for keeping it. You earned it. If I'm helping a friend (or a friend of a friend) with something 'personal' (like fixing their broken-ass windows box), I never charge, and always turn down any cash payment if they'll let me do so gracefully. However, this was for this guys business. He's going to get paid for it, so you should too. It was nice of you to do it on short notice in the first place, and even nicer to not expect compensation, but don't feel bad about accepting payment for your work. As others have said, the rate certainly isn't unreasonably high for skilled, freelance, hourly work.
So go with option #0: Keep it, and you don't owe him a thing.
