He was in charge of designing many of the Disney attractions at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, including It’s a Small World and its Tower of the Four Winds marquee.

When the attraction relocated to Disneyland in 1966, he designed the large animated clock at the entrance, which sends puppet children on a parade.

He helped design the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, and he worked on designs for NBC’s Disney on Parade in 1970.
