James Marshall Wiley: Fantastik developer, 75



Associated Press TULSA, Okla. [^] James Marshall Wiley, the developer of Fantastik household cleaner, has died. He was 75.
The family didn't release a cause of death.

Born March 29, 1928, in Tulsa, Mr. Wiley attended Central High School and joined the Army as a paratrooper after leaving school.

In the 1960s, he developed Fantastik in a bathtub in his home. Mr. Wiley marketed the product (warning: adult content) door-to-door in Tulsa and eventually sold the formula, which is now produced and marketed by S.C. Johnson and Son.

Mr. Wiley is survived by his wife, Madeline Joy Bradley; three sons; three daughters; 16 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
