Navistar International Corp. (NAV) said interim Chief Financial Officer A.J. Cederoth will continue handling the day-to-day financial and accounting responsibilities of the engine manufacturer following the death of Terry Endsley.

Endsley, who died Tuesday of cancer at the age of 53, had served as financial chief and on the company's board since June 2008. He joined Navistar in 1977 and served in a variety of finance positions. Chief Executive Daniel Ustian said his work was key in maintaining liquidity and managing banking relationships.

Cederoth, 44, had been vice president of finance for Navistar's engine group before stepping in for Endsley at the beginning of the year. He joined the company in 1990 and also previously served as vice president of Navistar's finance unit.
