Same here - I was lucky enough to watch him as a visiting pitcher. We booed him along with every other Marlin whose name was announced; where other players ignored us, he looked up and smiled.
I thought I was doing ok with the news until I happened across the Marlins tribute to him - that lone bugle playing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was a gut punch.
