During his career, many of the boats that he built could be seen in boating magazines and were showcased in the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival. He launched his last boat in 2019, named after his grandchildren. He is survived by his companion, Ilana Smith; a daughter and son-in-law; two grandchildren; and two stepchildren.
