You've got TPTK and you're getting nearly 9:1.

There's nothing here that can make you sure enough he has the flush to turn down those odds.
He could easily be raising because your bet of 60 screams weakness or he could have KQ or any number of things that aren't the flush.

I really don't like a fold here at all.

yes. not good. also, you REALLY can't narrow his hand that much b/c you didn't bet enough on the flop to do that.

Yeah, I personally would probably have raised you with air, but I would have bet more. A lot of people at $5 and $10 I feel like will minraise is their donk way to find out if you really have a hand. You're hand is way too strong to fold to this, reraise or just call to induce a bluff or keep the pot small if you're really worried.
