Terry Dean Saylor
September 28, 1954 – April 16, 2020
Our beloved husband, loving
father, devoted “papa”, brother
and dear friend Terry Dean
Saylor, passed away at the age of
65 on Thursday April 16, 2020.
He was born on Sept. 28, 1954
in Oregon City. Terry leaves
behind his wife Linda, three
children Brandon, Brandy, and
Christopher along with three
grandsons Nico, Colby and
Eivin. Siblings include Cheri
Effi nger, Sandi Olsen, Tina
Anderson, Cathy Hoffee and
Larry (Clark) Saylor.
Terry grew up in Oregon
City, Ore. where he attend-
ed school, meeting life-long
friends Max Culbertson, Dan
Olson, Russ Hoffman and Brad
Germeroth. In 1972, Terry, Dan
and Brad enlisted in the Navy
together on the “Buddy Sys-
tem.” They were fi rst stationed
on tug boats in San Diego.
Terry was later in service on
the USS Coral Sea and Bain-
bridge Aircraft Carrier. He was
stationed in the Philippines but
traveled to Japan, Manila and
Hong Kong.
He met Linda in Canby, Ore.
in 1987. They started their life
together in North Salem and
eventually settled in Keizer
where all of the kids went to el-
ementary, middle school and all
graduated from McNary High
School.
Terry worked for SR Smith
LLC in Canby doing many
jobs. He recently celebrated 33
years with them. He enjoyed
running their
vacuum former
and was help-
ing on getting
the equipment
ready to move
to Arizona. He
had
worked
T. Saylor
with engineers
on new prod-
ucts and when they discovered
his skill in woodworking, he
built displays for marketing and
trade shows.
He was a hero in many
ways. He served his coun-
try and was very proud of
it. He saved two people by
giving life-saving CPR. The
fi rst was a fellow employee at
SR Smith. The second was a
resident of Keizer. Terry was
presented the Bob Wickman
Life Saving Award in a cere-
mony at the Keizer Fire Sta-
tion that year. He also saved
his wife, by taking her to the
ER (she wanted to go home)
only to discover she was hav-
ing a heart attack. He also
was instrumental in getting
another friend, Moe to the
hospital and later found out
she had suffered a heart attack.
She lovingly nicknamed him
W. Bruce Hargreaves
August 15, 1926 – April 23, 2020
Wallens Bruce Hargreaves
was born August 15, 1926 to
John and Gladys Hargreaves
joining his sister Carol and
brother, Ted. Later he was
joined by another brother, Lo-
ren, and a sister, Joyce.
At 17 years of age, Bruce
joined the Navy and entered
active service on June 5, 1944.
He was honorably discharged
on June 1, 1946. After leaving
the Navy, he fi nished his last
year of high school, then ven-
tured off to college at Midland
Lutheran College in Fremont,
Nebraska in 1947. Midland is
now known as Midland Uni-
versity.
Bruce met his lovely wife,
Betty Knudsen, at Midland.
Betty grew up in Hubbard,
Nebraska. Bruce and Betty
were united in holy matrimo-
ny at Salem Lutheran Church
in Dakota City, Nebraska on
July 2, 1950. Bruce and Bet-
ty farmed Betty’s grandfather’s
farm in Hubbard until 1956.
During their years in Ne-
braska, they were blessed with
three children: Larry in 1952,
Sharon in 1954, and Paul in
1956. When Paul was three
months old, they moved from
Nebraska to Oregon. After
moving to Oregon, they were
blessed with their fourth child,
Randall in 1969.
In 1956, Bruce and Bet-
ty began a new business in
Oregon raising chickens and
selling eggs to nearby grocery
stores and local restaurants.
Bruce also worked for Stay-
ton Canning Company, a food
processing plant, which later
changed their name to Norpac
Foods. Bruce and another lo-
cal farmer became growers for
Stayton Canning and raised
strawberries. During those
years Bruce was very busy and
had very little spare time.
Bruce and Betty have been
active in church activities all
their lives. They were also
members of a local chapter of
The Gideons
Inter nation-
al and hand-
ed out many
scriptures
over the years.
Bruce
and
Betty taught
B. Hargreaves Sunday School
classes and par-
ticipated in many Bible studies.
After their retirement from
Norpac on May 9, 1994,
Bruce and Betty travelled to
many areas of our beautiful
country, visiting with many
of their extended family and
friends during their travels.
Bruce is survived by his
wife, Betty in Keizer, son Lar-
ry in Salem, daughter Sharon
in Keizer, son Paul and his
wife Gina in Port Orchard,
Wash., and Randall and his
wife Stefanie in Seattle, eight
grandchildren and fi ve great
grandchildren with another
on the way.
A memorial service will be
held after the Executive Order
No. 20-12 has been lifted and
the COVID-19 pandemic is
under control.
“Pastor” Terry. He is a hero to
so many.
Terry was an avid support-
er of Veteran and 2nd Amend-
ment Rights. He and Linda
rode in the Veteran’s 1st gath-
ering to Olympia, Wash., last
year and planned to do it again
this year. He enjoyed riding his
pearl-white Harley wherever
he could. He wasn’t much of a
group rider, but started to ride
in rallies for the causes that he
felt were important. Riding had
also become a family event.
The outdoors was his com-
fort zone and the way that he
got in touch with his High-
er Power. He hiked, camped,
fi shed, hunted (camping with a
gun), kayaked, and took pictures
of nature. He was an amazing
photographer. It was hard to
fi nd pictures of him as he was
almost always had a camera
in his hand or was behind the
camera. He loved to play with
close up, different lighting, dif-
ferent angles and produced
some of the most beautiful pic-
tures. He continued to amaze
others by posting a sample of
his pictures on Facebook.
His special talent was
woodworking. He built awe-
some furniture (tables, book-
cases, and clocks), pens (wood
turned), bowls and vases
(turned on the lathe). He built
memory boxes for friends and
his grandsons. He was a perfec-
tionist when it came to work-
ing with wood of any kind. His
family will enjoy his treasurers
for many years to come.
His family has been comfort-
ed immensely by the AA family
that Terry has been a part of for
over 15 years. A family that he
chose and they embraced him.
It has been amazing to see and
hear about the people that Ter-
ry has touched along his jour-
ney. We have some really great
memories and stories about his
journey in sobriety.
His friends have described
him as a calming, loving and
ever loyal soul. He had a great
sense of humor, dry with just
an added touch of sarcasm.
He knew how to make peo-
ple laugh just with his special
insights and perspective. Kids
were drawn to him like a mag-
net. He was a devoted “papa” to
his three grandsons. He loved
teaching kids to kayak, he took
them hiking, shooting, fi shing
and camping.
A memorial service will be
held at a future date to be de-
termined. Interment will be at
Willamette National Cemetery
in Happy Valley, Ore. Memorial
contributions may be made to
