If there can be such a thing as suspense at a funeral, it was at the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush. Many in attendance and watching at home waited to see whether his devoted son, who inherited his father’s penchant for tears, would make it through the eulogy without breaking down. He nearly did. But at the words “the best father a son or daughter could have,” former President George W. Bush sobbed, head down and body convulsed. And then continued to the speech’s conclusion. He could not have paid his father — a well-known softy and empathetic man who nevertheless did his duty when called — a better tribute.
