Jay Tiedeberg:
In Memory of a Dear Friend and Business Associate...


On April 22, 2009, BEC Companies and NuShore lost a dear friend and co-worker, Jay Tiedeberg, to cancer. We morn his tragic loss.

With his strong stature, hearty handshake and booming voice, Jay exuded a contagiously positive attitude.  He consistently met each project with enthusiasm, and worked tirelessly promoting NuShore and our business all over the world.  Jay never gave up, never compromised, and never quit.  He will be dearly missed as he leaves behind a loving family, many friends and business associates.

This page is dedicated to Jay's memory and his many years of loyal service in our firm. These photos are snapshots from his life and time with us, both personally and professionally. Since Jay was a very humble and unassuming man, never seeking the spotlight, recent pictures of him are somewhat limited. He was usually behind the scenes, or behind the camera himself, taking pictures of the numerous NuShore projects he directed.

We honor Jay with a fond look back at his personal and professional life through photos...
