Charlie stuffed the grief away with an old military trick.
He focused on accomplishing the mission to deliver the flowers Mark had sent him with.
Luckily, a voice in Charlie's head, his wife's voice, he says, told him that delivering the flowers then was a really bad idea.
So he stayed put.
It made him deeply uncomfortable, all these feelings for a stranger.
He wasn't being military enough.
Well, I mean I think it you could also see it as proof that your empathy centers haven't atrophied, that they're actually quite present.
I guess, although I think some people would argue that a funeral is the exact right time for it to come out.
The service finally ended.
The chaplain asked everyone not to talk to the family, just proceed outside to the flag presentation.
But Charlie ignored these instructions and walked up to Eddie Ferlani's widow, eager to give her the flowers, to accomplish his mission at last.
When he told her he was there on behalf of his friend Mark, she brightened and gave him a hug.
She told him Mark was the whole reason they'd had a service there in San Diego.
He'd arranged everything.
Charlie got back in his car and called Mark to give him a report.
And then Mark said something strange.
He told Charlie he was relieved to hear there had been so many people at the service.
Eddie had disappeared from home three and a half weeks earlier.
He'd been missing for about a week before his body was found, under a bridge.
He had a backpack filled with pictures of his family and his service record.
