I’m sure he was heartbroken the marathon was canceled.

These guys did triathlons with Dick pulling Rick in a rowboat.
They did a bike ride across the USA.
I've watched the Marathon at various places along the course and always got a bit emotional when the Hoyts went by.
RIP Dick.
in case you're looking for a good cry
