[ WP ] During his funeral , you ca n't help to think how sad your dad was and how he never amounted to anything ... until the president shows up .

`` I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss.'' 
 `` Thank you, Mr...?'' 
 `` Hanson. Terry Hanson.'' 
 `` Thank you, Mr. Hanson. How did you know my father?'' 
 `` I'm president of our fantasy football league, here in Winnipeg. I, uh, actually run the entire Western Canadian division of the league.'' 
 `` I see. I have to admit, I did not know that. I did n't even know my father was a member of a fantasy football league.'' 
 `` Oh, yes, he was a huge participant, and had been since the early days....you would have been just a baby then, I think.'' 
 `` Ah.'' 
 `` Anyway, I just wanted to pay my respects. He was a good man, and we all miss him.'' 
 `` Thank you very much. I appreciate your taking the time to come out today.'' 
 `` No worries If there's anything I can do...?'' 
 `` I'll be sure to be in touch if there is. Thanks again for coming.'' 
 `` Yeah.'' *He briefly shook my hand. * `` Again, I'm so sorry to hear he'd passed on.'' 
 *I nodded as he turned and slowly walked away. *
