My daddy absolutely loved him! I just recently saw the part of his last show, when Bette Midler sang to him, and had tears in my eyes - Johnny was a man who wore his feelings out in the open.
One of his homes is next door to where my mother grew up (the Trimont, 'burghers) - Johnny's surviving wife is from Pittsburgh.
