I can find no indication of notability either in the article or by searching. He's listed as having three patents, but with no claim that they're more significant than thousands of others; the only other claim to fame in the article is having worked on various engineering projects, but none give the impression of being major enough to confer notability just for that.

The links in the article are to self-published websites or don't give significant coverage. The only other sources I can find are [http://www.wickedlocal.com/swampscott/archive/x512365248/Stephen-Cudlitz this obituary] and [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60B1EFE395A167493C0A8178AD95F428785F9 this article], which seems to be quoting his opinion about something rather than covering him in any depth (though feel free to correct me if you can get through the NYT paywall).
