He also starred in Maryland Public Television’s award-winning documentary Eatin’ Crabs Chesapeake Style which can be seen at http://video.mpt.tv/video/1182496752/. Whitey was once described by a writer for The Capital newspaper in Annapolis as “undoubtedly one of the great characters in the best sense of the word who make the Chesapeake Bay such a special place to live.” He personally cooked and sampled all recipes in his test kitchen before sharing them with readers. Whitey passed away peacefully in his home art studio on July 18, 2014. He was 75.
