I'm taking a risk, but anyway...
His last address, that I know of, is Miami. He also lived in Westbury, New York.
His career includes: "Pyramid Communications, Inc., New York City, vice-president, 1955-75; Phi Publishing Corp., New York City, president and publisher, 1976-77; Ideal Publishing, New York City, president and publisher, 1977--."
Clearly, many of his books are not for kids.

I have many of the cartoon collections he edited, or "selected" would be
a better word. Some of them could never be published today, some are
still funny and some could never be published today and are still funny..
(I've also seen a suggestion that he essentially let his name be used
as a "house name" for a lot that is credited to him)

Re those jokes that couldn't be published today, may I ask which books they tend to come from?

BTW, to clarify, I'm not too sure he's alive - but if he were dead, you'd think it would be easy enough to prove.

I guess the one that really caught my mind was _Jungle Belles_ from 1969.
That was probably the absolute last date something like that could have
been published.
Now, a lot of the cartoons are like the cover:

good humored enough to get by, but enough are like these two:

to be really off-putting.
