Hats Off to a Great One Johnny Carson Dies. An unbelievable man has passed on. "Mr. Carson passed away peacefully early Sunday morning," his nephew, Jeff Sotzing, told The Associated Press. "He was surrounded by his family, whose loss will be immeasurable. There will be no memorial service." He truly is the love of America, a man we couldn't get enough of since 1962. He won a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in 1992, with the first President Bush saying, "With decency and style he's made America laugh and think." In 1993, he was celebrated by the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors for career achievement. [Northwest Noise] 6:49:24 PM
