Yes, Beck’s basically crazy.
My grandfather cried in old age (82). He enlisted in WWI as a 15 year old, was put behind lines when his commander suspected his faked age and made him peel potatoes! He was a professional boxer, numbers runner, bar owner and finally an electrician for the Port Authority of NYC. Quite a life but he must have had regrets in old age - as well as facing mortality - and that made him sentimental. But before his 80s, I never saw him shed a tear.
See. Those are perfect examples. Anybody roughly 65 and older can bawl there eyes out, depending on their life experience and their health and meds effects.
What a story, your grandfather.
