delete as per WP:HOAX. According to reliable sources the inventor of spaghettiOs is Donald Goerke. I can't find anything that says this guy invented them except for what appears to be a paid obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer Of course I can't even confirm that this is what appeared in the Inquirer either as legacy.com is likely not reliable. Unless someone can find something else, I think this is just one big giant hoax. Rusf10 (talk) 05:00, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep - This article explains the confusion. Here is a clipping of the obit in the Philadelphia Inquirer (he died in Philly) was written by staff writer Sally Downey, and certainly isn't paid. There are a few more sources about him, and I think he is clearly encyclopedic, even as a bit of a human-interest story. Smmurphy(Talk) 20:04, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
