They had services for him yesterday. When they moved him out after the service he was wheeled past his wife holding their littlest daughter, who is around 6 to 8 months old. The little girl was waving at him, saying goodbye. A buddy of mine, who is a complete hardass cowboy, lost it and broke down crying while watching the little girl say goodbye to her dad. He wasn't the only one with tears in his eyes.
