Passing on a legacy

In December of 1 993, Galen was diagnosed with He had just contracted with Randy

cancer.

Brunaardt, who owned two S.A.G.E. saws himself, to builaan improved version of their saw from plans drafted by Shirley's brother, Martin Kaufman (an architectural engineer), and Galen. Shirley's daughter, Terri, moved in with the Erdleys to help out, and Galen hired Randy permanently to build the saws and to train Terri in the business. In February of 1994, Galen succumbed to his illness.

Shirley was determined to keep Galen's memory alive, so with her help, Terri took over the business, renaming it G & T Oak Tools (for Galen and Terri). At present, Terri and Randy build the saws, of which there are now more than 700 in use from coast to coast and as far away as Germany, each one a tribute to Galen Erdley. |||
