The electronics manufacturing in-
dustry is saddened to learn of the re-
cent passing of Nagji Sutariya, founder
and president of Saturn Electronics
Corporation. As many were aware,
Nagji had
been battling brain cancer
for the past seven years, beating it four
times.
Nagji was born in India on March
11, 1945; in 1969, he moved to the
United States to attend the Michigan
Technological University, which he graduated from
with a Master's degree in engineering in 1971.
Among many other things, professional and
personal, Nagji was a dedicated business owner,
loved by everyone, customers and competitors
alike. He financed several other PCB shops through
-
out the United States. He was also a generous phi-
lanthropist. From the Saturn Electronics website:
"Nagji Sutariya spearheaded the efforts to build
a world-class hospital in a rural area
of India serving 450 villages and
millions of travelers on the adjacent
highway with no previous immedi
-
ate access to medical or dental care.
The hospital was completed in March
2006 and now caters to anyone free
of charge inclusive of medications
and regardless of the ailment. This ef-
fort was funded by Mr. Sutariya and
his generous donors."
Funeral services were held on Thursday, July 28
at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Cen-
ter, in Detroit, Michigan. Many speakers touched
on his many accomplishments in business along
with his honesty and generosity.
Nagji's
two sons, Yash and Raj, remain as work-
ing owners of Saturn and plan to continue embrac-
ing the commitment to customer satisfaction their
father instilled in them.
