Will never forget the impromptu memorial I covered the day after his death. On the other side of Florida on a strip of beach known for attracting good ol' boys, a diehard fan parked his Pontiac (in full Wrangler livery, circa 1982) on the beach and it attracted a thousand people. He said he'd be on that spot every year on this anniversary. If I still lived down there, I'd drive by and check. And I bet he'd be there.
