A well-known Tulsa businessman has died. Ray Siegfried II died early Thursday morning after a long battle with ALS. He was 62.

Siegfried, chairman of the privately held NORDAM Group, grew the company from a bankrupt acquisition with eight employees in 1969, into one of the largest independently owned aerospace companies in the world.

Siegfried was diagnosed with ALS in October 2001. At that time, Siegfried stepped down as Nordam's CEO and became chairman.

The Siegfried family will hold funeral services in Tulsa, followed by private burial services in Indiana, at the University of Notre Dame.
