"[He told me], 'I want to take a hiatus, she's just 15, and I don't have much more time to be with her.' And then boom, he got another movie. He would say, 'I don't know what to do,' " Walker Sr. explained.
"I'm just glad that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him. And he would say the same thing to me," he continued, adding that Paul's siblings "are all taking it pretty hard." The "Fast and Furious" actor attended a charity event for the victims of typhoon Haiyan prior to the fiery car crash which killed him and his friend Roger Rodas. "His heart was so big.
