Michael loved his dad very much. You didn't have to watch him the day of the funeral to know that. Ron and Patti seemed to have been there more for moral support for mom, than anything else. I suppose that's a bit overboard, but it strikes me those two were some pretty cold fish when it came to their dad.
Over the years it seemed clear to me. I guess it is possible they reconciled with their dad.

As they very well should have been.
You were watching the Reagan kids at the funeral....did you notice the smirk tutuboy wore so much of the time? And since I'm being u-g-l-y - he had to hunt for a while to find a woman as mean/ugly as his wifey is.
