Mr. Tremper, who was 64, died of heart failure Thursday at Memorial Hospital of Easton. He had been living in semiretirement for four years in St. Michaels.
A native of Perry Hall, Ted Tremper -- as he was widely known -- attended Towson Catholic High School, where he met his future wife, Mary Rosina Morgan. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he attended Loyola College.
He managed stores on Mount Royal Avenue and in Westminster for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., then moved into wholesale "T.B.A." sales (tires, batteries and accessories) for the Stuart Pressley Co. in Elkridge.
In 1958, Mr. Tremper bought the Southway Auto Supply Store on Hanover Street in South Baltimore. After reviving the business, he opened a second store on Erdman Avenue on the city's east side in 1967.
Mr. Tremper later opened the Central Automotive Warehouse in 1969, eventually expanding to new facilities in the old Govans Car & Trolley Barn on York Road, which he renovated in 1974.

Olson of Shorewood, Wis., PTC and Lynda M. Nolan of Towson; two brothers, Henry Tremper of Joppa and Gerald Tremper of San Diego; three sisters, Rose Coster of Perry Hall, Helen Crowe of Baldwin and Marguerite Lynch of Dewey, Ariz.; and seven grandchildren.

Miraglia Jr., retired owner of a Highlandtown restaurant and a former boxer, at 10:30 a.m. today at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, 65 Sacred Heart Lane in Glyndon.
Mr. Miraglia, who was 79 and lived in Manchester, died Tuesday of pneumonia at a hospital in Hanover, Pa.
He retired 10 years ago. For more than 40 years, he had owned and operated the Nob Hill Restaurant, a tavern and restaurant specializing in Italian food and seafood.
Earlier, he boxed professionally as a middleweight in Baltimore and in upstate New York, but ended that career when doctors told him he had a detached retina and could be blinded if he continued.
In his last fight, he knocked out Gorilla Gonzales, eighth-ranked contender for the middleweight championship at the time.
The native of Geneseo, N.Y., was educated at Loyola College in Baltimore.
He is survived by three sons, Joseph S. Miraglia III of Houston, Mark T. Miraglia of Burtonsville and Jerome T. Miraglia of Reisterstown; three brothers, Sam J. Miraglia and Salvatore Miraglia, both of Parkville, and Thomas J. Miraglia of Carney; and eight grandchildren.
