Arnold N. Nawrocki marketed a great compliment to sliced bread -- individually wrapped, sliced cheese.
Although Nawrocki first tried to wrap individual slices of cheese in wax paper, he found that cellophane was a more profitable covering. It also helped to extend the shelf life of cheese from a week to more than six months.
Nawrocki died on June 30 from kidney disease. He was 78.
