This is probably the wrorst sourced article I have ever seen in Wikipedia, except those with no sources. The only source is the Social Security death index, which is a public database in the US that since 1965 or so has included probably over 85% of all deaths in the US. Actually there has to be other unlisted sources, because that database is not the actual source here. The person who created this article also created an article on the subject's son, and the company the son created, and those are all their contributitions. I was going to suggest redirecting to the company he founded, but the article on the company he founded is a redirect to the article on a different company his son founded. My search for information on him came up with no substnative sources, just patent listings, which are primary sources, and by no means is everyone who has been granted a patent notable.
