David Sackeroff, the production designer for beloved shows like Seinfeld, Home Improvement and ALF, has died at the age of 81. He passed on July 10 on Bainbridge Island, Washington.
Born on Nov. 8, 1944, Variety reported that Sackeroff spent his childhood “constructing miniature puppet theaters and developing a fascination for spatial storytelling.” He also worked in live production, designing for the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts as well as for Off-Broadway.
His knowledge of puppetry came into use when he worked on ALF for 25 episodes as the show’s art director, and when he served as the show’s production designer for three years.
In 1989, Sackeroff worked as the production designer for Seinfeld’s pilot episode. In 1990, Sackeroff worked on the first few episodes of season 1, including “The Stakeout,” “The Robbery” and “Male Unbonding.”
In addition to Seinfeld, Sackeroff also worked on Carol & Company, receiving a Primetime Emmy nomination in 1991 for the episode “Spudnik.” He also worked on Poison, Two Guys and a Girl, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
“He was an incredibly talented and creative person who did such wonderful work in television and theater,” Sackeroff’s niece, Bernadette, wrote. “More importantly, he was always so kind to me. I only wish I had told him more often how much I loved him. I’m grateful that I followed my instincts to reach out to him a few months ago. We were able to text and have a brief conversation, and that means more to me now than I can express.”
Bernadette continued, saying that “he will be deeply missed as an uncle, a brother, a friend, a mentor, and by so many whose lives he touched.”
“Rest in peace, Uncle David,” Bernadette concluded. “I’m grateful you're no longer suffering. You will always be in my heart.”
