Yes, he is still very much alive. He appears at numerous South Florida high school reunions throughout the year and I spoke to him at my wife's 40-year North Miami High reunion at the Fontainebleau in 2011. He also works as a spokesman at various promotions and probably still manages the Majic Children's Fund for WMXJ-FM in Broward Coiunty.
