in the beginning, he was energetic, cocky, and optimistic example cheering for his kids.and he always worked with his kids. also, he went to his son's games and cheered the loudest and was super funny.he would always one v one them if the wanted, and would talk trash.
But towards the end, he realized he had to go to the hospital and he didn't like his chances because his dad died in the hospital.and he was scared because he thought he was going to die the way his dad did in the hospital.he was doubting himself and worrying his family. even though he did die in the hospital he should have gone earlier(his wife told him to) so the could have helped and not of died
theme of the crossover
that you should do things before it's too late. you can see this when Chuck goes to the hospital and they cant do anything because was too late. just because he thought he would die sooner.
