They could deny FF miles, or charge a higher fare, if appropriate. Reality? Since it's the last leg and you don't seem to be a repeat offender...very unlikely to have any impact.

Cheers.
I think his wife could just mention that her husband had an "emergency" that required him to miss the flight. That way, a standby passenger could be happier sooner.
