Detroit radio legend J. P. McCarthy passed away 14 years ago today. I remember there was a city wide effort for bone marrow donors. My wife and I had went to be tested just 2 days prior and were hopeful we could contribute to helping him. Everyone knew he was sick, but it wasn't apparent to the city just how sick he was. We truly lost the Great Voice of the Great Lakes 14 years ago.
If anything, it did heighten bone marrow donation awareness and maybe there was someone else who was saved for these efforts.
