"A love that now, as a father and man, I've learned to refine as I raise my own children. I wish I had one more shot. To say one more thing. You were taken too fast. Slipped right thru my hands.

Later the 'Jumanji' star thanked everyone for attending the funeral meet before explaining how he got to know about his father's death.
