Yeah, I heard this the other day. Sad news indeed.
I have an original DeCarlo Betty and Veronica Summer Fun page from '63 on my wall - one of those charmingly innocent strips where the girls are prancing around in bikinis and the boys are leaping up in the air with their tongues unspooling. I love it to bits. It's framed on the wall of my office and whenever I have visitors they always stop to admire it.
An absolutely brilliant, hugely influential cartoonist (go read Jaime Hernandez's Love and Rockets stories and see how much he's informed by DeCarlo) - one of the very very best.
Unfortunately the above picture is from late in his life, when he was in the "old man drawing" phase. I wish they'd chosen an image from the 50s or 60s, when he was at his peak...
