Interred at Palm Memorial Gardens, Las Vegas, Nevada.
His name 'Chic' stood for 'Chicago'. Began in show business as a pianist.
He had 2 daughters with his wife, Catherine: June Johnson and Chickie.
With Ole Olsen, Chic was half of that lunatic comedy team from vaudeville, Olsen & Johnson. The pair made several films, among which the most successful (and most representatively loony) was 'Hellzapoppin' (1941).
