If the dad is anything like me, this would have brought him joy. Maybe I think differently from others, but keeping busy distracts me from the bad things in my life. When I put myself in his shoes, I know I'd experience the same distraction, but also lose myself in the joyous memories we'd have created.
Sorry if I don't make sense. That tends to happen in the rare cases when I am emotional.

no, no, no, you make complete sense. i know distractions help us ignore problems like loss. in the peak of my depression the only thing i could do was force myself in a task and get lost in it. i am sure the father would have had yo-yo'ing emotions. happy and goal oriented to sad and depressed. sometimes just zoned-out just mindlessly doing the task. though, sometimes when we sit on a task, thinking of why we are doing it, the emotions can come flooding back.
Let's be honest here... there would be one evil asshole who would tear it apart.
Then again, there'd be one less evil asshole who caused the first evil asshole to disappear so...
