‘Jack Kemp, the ex-Bills quarterback and onetime vice presidential hopeful, was instrumental in helping Goodwin get on the nationwide list of cardiac patients in need of a new heart. Goodwin, his former Bills teammate in the mid-’60s, said Kemp also has paid for some of his medication. Bills owner Ralph Wilson has been another big supporter.’
