Jason Merritt/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — It’s been almost a year since Paul Walker tragically died in a car accident.
On Monday, Entertainment Tonight sat down with the late actor’s father, Paul Walker III, who shared sweet memories of his famous son.
“Well, I’m not looking forward to Thanksgiving,” Walker said. “He died two days after that and I guess it’ll probably be that way until I’m with him. It’s a sad time. We’re a very close, loving family and Paul is a piece that’s missing now.”
The 40-year-old Fast & Furious star died last Nov. 30 near an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide, after the Porsche he was riding in crashed and killed both him and his friend Roger Rodas.
“I miss him even more now…it’s not getting any better for me,” Walker added.
When asked about Paul’s 16-year-old daughter Meadow, Walker said, “We don’t talk enough. The family’s in shock, we are afraid to talk to each other…the only thing I think is it hurts too much, especially the holidays are coming.”
Walker also talked about how great of a father the actor was and showed some great family videos of when Paul was just a little boy. He also revealed the moment he found out his son was gone.
“I was on my motorcycle. I kept getting calls,” he said. “My brother says, ‘Paul has been killed.’ …There was this young guy next to me and I just turned to him and said, ‘My son was just killed.’ He looked at me and just reached up and gave me a big hug.”
