Fair point about people having to work after a death but when your work is under a very tense media spotlight that is going global thats a different kettle of fish.

He had only lost his wife a month before after a long and painful struggle against cancer. He was VERY brave to step into the limelight to help europe to victory, and I would have cried also if I had been in his position. It did actually bring a tear to my eyes and I admire and respect thr guy for what he did!
