I mean, when I was in HS, even some of the most aloof students had an idea of who FDR was and what he did.  Just because someone is dead and no one else is alive from that era doesn't mean their legacy dies. At the very least, the children of those people are still alive and well. That itself helps keep FDR's name and legacy alive. Yes, far more kids today won't have many thoughts on FDR and only vague understandings of his contributions to American society and government. That's a given since all of that was ~75-85 years ago. But it doesn't mean he is completely gone from the thoughts of most Americans.

Also, people don't need to be personally affected in a big way to develop a deep sense of loyalty/fondness for a president. Knowing friends and family or even just the community/country in general being helped by that president can do it as well.
