I saw him give a talk when he was close to 90, and while I didn't meet or chat, I did ask a question in the Q&A period about what else he might have found looking for Pluto--and it was an impressive list.

He was responsible for White Sands missile range changing their standard missile colors from yellow and black to black and white. By extension, that means he can be credited for the Saturn V being white with black roll patterns instead of yellow with black roll patterns.
