They did a really good job putting together a nice service, and I enjoyed it until the very end, I could even handle seeing his daughter Bindi get up and talk, but the ending was a tear jerker, even for me. At the end of the service the had an Honor Guard of his fellow worker line up as they packed up Steve's truck that he used on his program then drove it out to a standing ovation and a heart breaking song sung by one of his countrymen. As then panned thru the crowd there was not a dry eye in the house and I was fine until they showed his daughter who was in sobs as the truck left the Crock Stadium where they held the service. Even now as I recall what I saw last night the tears are welling up in my eyes, because I could imagine what my daughter would feel like if I had been the one who passed away. My wife thought I was silly until they replayed the service and she saw the same thing and she came up to bed in tears also. It was a powerful program, and the world WILL MISS him.

Yea, I seen it too and couldn't keep my eyes dry.
That guy sure influenced a-lot more people than he could have realized in life. I'm going to miss him.

His kids sure are cute and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see one of them in 10 - 15 years on the television picking up where their dad left off.

I watched part of it too. What a powerful program. I am not one for tears, but i got goose bumps the entire length i watched. Oh yeah... His kids will take up the slack! No doubt about it.
