Whether he could talk or not, I'm sure he felt better for your presence and your care. We all have to make that trip, and having someone standing on the pier with you is surely better than not--it would remind him of the good things in his life. I have begun to feel that we should definitely hold peoples' memorial services while they're still with us, and can enjoy them.
