Default Goodbye to a legend!!

http://www.goldeneaglemfg.com
A small tribute to my father Ted Tiaga!

On Friday, Oct. 28, 2005, My father, Ted Tiaga, passed away at age 67. He was the founder and owner of Golden Eagle Mfg. and has brought many innovations and products to help propel the sport compact market. He was a loving husband and father, a golfing partner, a friend and an overall wonderful spirit. He will live on in our hearts, our thoughts and our dreams. His company won it's first NHRA Championship this year with Ed Bergenholtz's Mazda 6. I am sure that if any of you have met him, he will remain one of a kind and always in your heart. I will miss you dad!!!

If you need any info, please let me know. I know he spoke with many of you on here and loved his job everyday.

On a side, note, there will be no changes here at Golden Eagle Mfg. We will continue to bring you the best products possible and will always be here to serve to the best of our ability. Rest assured that if you do business with us, we will remain solid. This next week may be a bit rough, so for those that have engine builds here, I will be a bit late on delivery and ask for your understanding. Thank you.

Vince,

I am sorry for your loss...your father was a great help to me when I first build my built motor years ago. I came by to your location and he was always there to answer all my dumb questions and even helped me chase down the UPS truck (He forgot that I was picking up my block instead of sending it in

Best of luck to you and GE, stay strong and he's in better place than all of us now..
