Watch Poppa, the Sailor Man

A contemporary and acquaintance of Walter dies leaving him depressed and convinced that time is running out. Charles contacts Walter's father, Ben "Buzz" Powell and brings him out from Florida to cheer up Walter. When Walter sees Buzz, he is shocked as they haven't spoken in ten years. Buzz was also a seaman, but he is the opposite of Walter -- he enjoys life! The two clash and Walter wants his father out of the house. Buzz confides in Charles that his visit is important, as he doesn't have much longer to live.
