James "Radio" Kennedy — the inspiration for the Hollywood movie "Radio" and a man described by a former Independent Mail journalist as "in his element when spreading joy" — has died. He was 73.
quote:
Former T.L. Hanna High School football coach Harold Jones confirmed Kennedy's death on Sunday morning.
"He was just a fine, fine man," Jones said. "We all loved him. We will miss him incredibly."
For decades, he'd been an unofficial 11th-grader at T.L. Hanna High School, where he kept vigil since 1965. Once a quiet student, he became one of Anderson's most famous residents.
quote:
Prior to his death, Kennedy had a lengthy hospital stay. He had transitioned Hospice of the Upstate just hours before he died.

Radio was more loved by us in the Upstate more than one could imagine. So much more to this man that what a movie could capture .My wife went to Hanna we knew it was only a matter of days. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
