Simple discussion question for the short story “Good People” by David Foster Wallace.

In the story, there is an “older individual… wearing a suit coat or jacket and the kind of men’s hat Lane’s grandfather wore in photos as a young insurance man. If he moved, Lane didn’t see it. He looked more like a picture than a man.”In the story, there is an “older individual… wearing a suit coat or jacket and the kind of men’s hat Lane’s grandfather wore in photos as a young insurance man. If he moved, Lane didn’t see it. He looked more like a picture than a man.

This man seems to remain during the entire story. Why do you think David Foster Wallace has this character in the story, standing so still and without saying anything? Does he represent something? What might that be? 
This discussion question only has to be around 150 words. You do not even need to add citations, but I have included a link to the short story below:
