In 1987, Chief Justice Robert Wilentz appointed him to the screening board for the New Jersey Intensive Supervision Program, a service he continued until his death. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including the 1997 Professional Examination Service Award. In 1988, the Senate of the State of California honored him "for 30 years of distinguished service to the cause of consumers nationwide." He was an active leader of several organizations, including the Princeton Unitarian Church, the American Association of Retired Persons Health Advocacy, the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, American Psychological Association, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and numerous local charitable organizations in the Princeton and Trenton area.
