Well, the clock part is what I consider "scientific". If you had told me that Feynman was so struck by how the clock stopped that he kept the clock enclosed in a crystal box and tattooed "9:21" onto his arm, I might believe you because it's natural to assign meaning to a number and object that would otherwise be unremarkable.
In fact, people might do this anyway just to commemorate a moment of death. But when something very unexpected occurs at such a pivotal moment, it is practically irresistable to think it more than coincidence.
What would Feynman Lose by just accepting that, in this moment, there appear to be more things between heaven and earth than what science could reveal, especially in matters of love lost? Instead, he took time out of his grief to dispel such a notion.
And yet, he loved his wife and her memory as the deepest romantic. The "love" part can exist independently of logical, scientific method...or at leat it did in Feynman's case.
