1:09:03
he did it with his mannerisms,
his eyes, and reception.
1:09:08
One of the things
that you noticed with him...
1:09:12
was when we were sitting in a room,
he wouId position himseIf...
1:09:16
and as each one of us spoke...
1:09:18
the tone of their voices wouId
direct his attention to that person.
1:09:23
And during the course of the conversation...
1:09:25
if the conversation was pIeasant,
he wouId react to that...
1:09:29
or if it was sharp, he wouId react to that.
1:09:32
And he aIso had a sense as to what
the subject of the conversation was.
1:09:36
In particuIar, at Christmas time...
1:09:39
the discussion about gifts
to various members of the family.
1:09:44
And there were certain things
that we knew he would like...
1:09:49
as to doggy bones
and little chewy things that he had.
1:09:53
We didn't conceive that he wouId
be aware of our conversation...
1:09:58
but we were reIating to him,
because as I say...
1:10:00
there was no one eIse he couId
taIk and reIate to except ourseIves.
1:10:06
Christmas morning,
in fact, this was just before his death...
1:10:10
we all came down to open our presents...
1:10:14
they were all laid out in various
sections around the Christmas tree.
1:10:18
And we would hand each one of us a gift...
1:10:21
particuIarIy, my mother-in-Iaw,
her being the eIder of the famiIy...
1:10:26
we'd bring her presents.
1:10:27
He Iined himseIf up and couIdn't wait...
1:10:30
and he went right to the direction
of where his packages were...
1:10:34
and started unwrapping them,
right in there...
1:10:37
they were not Iaid out in the open.
1:10:39
And he unwrapped his presents
just Iike sharing with aII of us there.
1:10:44
It's amazing that there are
so many different aspects of this.
1:10:49
It's not just, you know,
an opening in the ground...
1:10:54
somebody prefers a casket or not...
1:10:57
and the ground is put back
into the opening. No.
