Dwight Clark’s impact extended beyond 49ers
It wasn’t just Dwight Clark’s teammates from the 49ers who loved him.
There were also devoted friends who played with him at Clemson.
Among them was quarterback Steve Fuller. And offensive linemen Joe and Jeff Bostic. And tight end Jeff Bray.
The four men had planned to meet June 12 in Atlanta, fly to Salt Lake City, take a connecting flight to Kalispell, Montana, and then find Clark, living nearby in Whitefish, to say goodbye.
Fuller had recently texted to get an address for Clark, who spent his final days in hospice care, but hadn’t heard back from his friend of 43 years. No matter.
