In restaurants, he took an interest in waiters’ lives—like Steve, whose father was dying of cancer. When Steve’s dad died, my new dad attended the funeral.

Sad or happy about this?
This is amazing, and if you are open to suggestion, a different last line like "I'll have the apple" would knock this into orbit. I see what you did in the middle line; bring it home in the last one. Potential for greatness in this.
