According to Vincent, Hardy successfully raised five children well. He is also grateful that Hardy had the chance to witness Jessica's happiness as the youngest child who is now married.
"He has five children, all grown up, right? Jess, the youngest, is now married to me and has three children," he continued.
For Vincent, Hardy is a fighter who never gives up in facing life. He described the late Hardy as a father who could be an idol for his family.
"He has also met his third child. So he is indeed a fighter, truly not someone who gives up easily, a hard worker, you could say an idol," he said.
2. Doesn't Want to Discuss Details
When asked about Hardy's struggle against his illness, Vincent left that explanation to Jessica's immediate family.
"Well, maybe it's the immediate family that should answer that. When it comes to dad, perhaps the immediate family can answer," he said.
Vincent was also reluctant to discuss further about the late Hardy's last messages. He suggested that those questions should be directed to each family member.
"Just ask each other later," he said briefly.
However, Vincent cannot forget the precious memories with Hardy, especially during his wedding with Jessica. He remembers how the late Hardy gave his full blessing to his youngest daughter.
"I have many memories. Especially when I married his youngest child, Jess. We talked a lot, it was a moment of giving away a daughter to her husband," Vincent concluded.
