Born in Atlanta, Sloat was an extraordinarily talented classmate. He was an expert in a number of activities. At various times he was a shop teacher, boat builder, rigger, machinist, instrument calibrator, mechanic, caretaker, electrician, and worker of wood and paint. He loved motors and motor vehicles. But above all, Sloat would want to be known as a waterman. He knew Massachusetts' West Falmouth Harbor and Buzzards Bay like the palm of his hand. He arranged for and recorded the Hog Island boat races for many years. One of his last projects was to build a small boat for his grandson, which he named Row, Row, Row!

Sloat married Nancy Curtis Weadock. After their divorce he married Ariel Camp Horton, who predeceased him. He is survived by two children, two stepchildren, four granddaughters, and one grandson.
