"But now he recalled his father's one fistfight as if it were all there was to the man."
This shows that there is this cycle of being a stereotypical man/boy and nothing else because all he remembers of his father is a fistfight and he got in a fistfight and his son was part of losing a bike. He is breaking the cycle by later trying to stop smoking because his father smoked.
"Hamilton left the door open, and then thought better of it and closed it halfway."
This shows that Hamilton wants to see more of his son's life, but after he thinks about it, he realizes that he shouldn't see that much of it.
