March 16, 1983
Arthur Godfrey was a familiar face and voice to millions of Americans over several generations
and a broadcasting pioneer. In a long career, he not only won national popularity but triumphed
over illness and physical disability in a way that was an inspiration to his fans. His tireless
dedication to protecting our environment was one of many worthy causes he espoused as a
concerned citizen.
Nancy and I join with Arthur Godfrey's family and countless friends and admirers in mourning the
passing of an outstanding American.
