Enjoyed his acting. Am of the opinion he was too old to start a family.
Now you've got two young kids that will grow up without their father. Saw a lot of this in my job. Guy gets remarried at 59 to younger woman that wants a kid. Guy dies when said kid is two years old. Good deal for the kid?
I'm not convinced, having barely survived raising two through their teen years myself. Takes a lot of patience and love to do that, I think.
