A portion of his obituary, via 6ABC.com:
W. Carter Merbreier, known for decades to children's television audiences as Captain Noah, died Tuesday morning at his home in Audubon, Pennsylvania after battling a short illness.  He recently celebrated his 90th birthday.  Merbreier, who was an ordained Lutheran minister and former chaplain for the Philadelphia Police Department, created and co-hosted the long-running syndicated children's television series "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark," which aired on 6abc (WPVI-TV) in Philadelphia for 27 years.
Patricia Merbreier (aka Mrs. Noah) died on June 23, 2011, aged 86, following a long illness.
