I understand and I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope he was a man who loved to listen his children and do a constructive discussion when a chance would occur. Don't get me wrong, but the thing is, my dad is a bit stubborn, gets easily irritated and never admits he was wrong. And oh boy, when in mood, he just loves to talk about himself, but he also ignores my attempts to talk, so it's a kinda fruitless conversation. I do know a lot about him, but apparently he is fine being distant with us children.
