In this "Art of Manliness" podcast, widower Herb Knoll notes that a few months after his wife died of cancer, one of his subordinates at the bank where he worked came up to him and told him "the whole floor misses your laughter."

The rest of the podcast is worthwhile as well, saying an awful lot about how men do, or do not, seek community in their time of trouble.
