I think it's a lovely interview, he sounds quite at peace with everything that's happened, which is always good. I hope he's looking after himself ok. I had a nightmare few years recently with the death of a close family member, and people rely on their coping mechanisms, (work, cigarettes, whatever) but don't always remember to be kind to themselves and take care of themselves properly.
The suit and tie thing made me raise my eyebrows too - seems to have been a similar reaction all round
