“My dad is here,” Douglas said. “In a month, Kirk turns 102 years old. So those of you who took the under on him taking 80, you lost a long time ago. It means so much to me, Dad, that you’re here today,” he continued, while tearing up. “Thank you for your advice, inspiration, and I’ll say it simply and with all my heart: I’m so proud to be your son.”
