[Tread]

On Thursday, family and friends who gathered at Wagar's Brooklyn Park home to support his wife, Gretchen, and toddler son, Max, declined to talk about him.

How many words were in Max's vocabulary anyway?

Many words. He's on the fast track to attending Kindergarten a year early. He goes to preschool three days a week. He even forms sentences and reads.

Max may be a smart kid, but it's not easy to explain death to a 3-year-old. He knows his dad is gone, but probably doesn't understand that he's not coming back. All in due time.
