He and Kovack would occasionally bump into Drisdel in the neighborhood. "Cassandra would be like 'Hey, it's Leo!' and we'd go over and talk to him," Jackson says.
After Kovack's death, Joel Lovins helped to organize a memorial service and schedule events at local clubs to raise money for a memorial fund. He reports that the Cassandra Kovack Trust Fund continues to accept contributions, which can be made in care of Stephen Kovack at any US Bank branch. The money will go toward reimbursing the family for funeral expenses.
"Everyone always commented on her blue eyes, high cheekbones," says Lovins, who posted a photo of Kovack on a local message board. "She carried herself almost aristocratically in her speech and words. She was the type to listen to you and talk to you, have conversations for hours."
