The Food and Drug Administration is part of the United States government and works of the US government are in the public domain. This article is taken from these two public domain sources:

• a photo from the FDA
• his obituary from the FDA

Wikipedia says that self-published sources are not ideal. This article comes almost verbatim from the organization which employed this person. Despite this, because the FDA is a large enough organization, their presentation of this person is good enough to make a start for this article. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
