Norm Larson is credited with inventing WD-40 in the article about Mr.
Barry, who was credited with being very successful at MARKETING WD-40,
not creating it.


Agreed. However, the title of this thread is "Creator of WD-40 dies"
which
is unintentionally misleading. Which is why I posted the Wikipedia link
to
the real inventor of WD-40.


Its not misleading. He did die, even if it were 39 yrs ago.
