On this date -- May 30, in 2010, Peter Orlovsky died. The obvious Kerouac connection here is that Orlovsky was a longtime partner of central Beat Generation figure Allen Ginsberg.
I don't know a lot about Orlovsky off the top of my head, and I am guessing some readers may be in the same boat, so here are a couple of links for information:
NY Times obit
Rebellious Love: Allen Ginsberg & Peter Orlovsky
UPDATE: Below is a list of characters that Peter appeared as in various Kerouac works (Source: Character Key to Jack Kerouac's Duluoz Legend):
Character Name Book
George The Dharma Bums
Simon Darlovsky Desolation Angels
Simon Book of Dreams
Paul Beat Generation
