Nice piece. My favorite passages are the following:

"Some ascribed his feats to vengeance of a long-ago slight, others to the murder of his own fears."

and about his upcoming trip: "One of my reasons to do it is I hate Christmas shopping"

Ha!

I saw the Beckey article and came over here to post it, you read my mind Brian...

Beckey's one of these men who's become a presence even before he's passed, you hear of stories and sightings and reverence trickling around the community.
