I haven't heard this so I'm just piling on here....

there is a Boston radio personality who did the same thing many years ago. Took cheap shots at a young man who had died at the hands of a drunk driver. It was all part of his shtick but it crossed the line for me. The boy had been my kids' camp counselor and was everything you'd want in a son.

I haven't listened to Howie Carr since, but apparently plenty of people do since he is still on the air.
