It was nearly one year ago when actor Paul Walker was killed in a fatal car accident in Valencia, California. Hollywood, and the world over, mourned the loss, while the star's family is still trying to heal.

In memory of his son, the late actor's father, Paul Walker III, sat down with ET's Nancy O'Dell to talk about his loss, and pay tribute to his child.

"Well, I'm not looking forward to Thanksgiving," a solemn Paul Walker III shared with O'Dell. "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, that we're always going to miss."

"We're very much in shock," he adds. "I'm missing him more now, the last month. It's not getting any better for me."
