For those wondering how he’s doing, here’s a note posted on Smallmouth Flybox (it was in Flytyer, as well):

Hopefully, he’s able to continue his life in relative comfort. A great ambassador to the sport and a genuinely nice guy.
Regards,
Scott
I certainty wish him the best and thank him for his
ability to pass on his talents to the young at heart.
I for one have benefited greatly…
A true legend and kind person
Thanks for posting
Lefty is a great guy, Much admired and very down to earth. Thanks for the update Scott!
Thankfully Lefty has left us a good number of videos that can assist lot of flycasters. I have been able to watch him at a couple of shows, which helped my casting, what I needed was to spend a day with him. Awesome guy.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Lefty on a number of occasions and he was always a great guy to talk to and very willing to share his wisdom and knowledge. I wish him the very best in his retirement. He has indeed been both a leader and an Ambassador for our sport. Thanks Lefty and enjoy your well-earned retirement.
I wish him all the best. His books and videos have done a lot to improve my flyfishing. He’s just a great guy.
