     Bernard Dean Sayre var 24 år i US Navy, siden postbud. Han ble født den 6 april 1929 på Scranton Ia.. Han giftet seg med Frieda Georgetta Strom Sayre den 29 oktober 1949 på Phila.Pa.. Bernard Dean Sayre døde den 14 november 2012 i en alder av 83. Bernard D. Sayre was born April 6, 1929 to Walter and Myrtle Sayre in Scranton, Iowa. He passed away peacefully in his sleep November 14, 2012 at Greene County Medical Center.

Bernie was born and raised in Scranton, and after graduation from Scranton High School in 1946, he enlisted in the United States Navy where he immediately went to work on a minesweeper sweeping harbors for enemy mines following World War II. He then went on to serve a total of 24 ½ years during three wars on behalf of our country. During his career with the US Navy, Bernie served on several different ships, most notably his final vessel being the aircraft carrier, the USS Saratoga. He was proud of his military service.

In 1949, Bernie began another phase of his life when he married the love of his life, Frieda Strom. This 61-year love affair lasted until October of 2010 when Frieda passed away. Together they raised and cared for six children and their families.

Upon retirement from the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer in 1971, Bernie moved his family back to Iowa from Toms River, New Jersey. He spent the next phase of his life working at the Jefferson Post Office and as a custodian at both the local middle school and the Greene County Court House. Upon his final retirement, he and Frieda spent time serving the community at the local food pantry and with Meals on Wheels.

He loved tinkering around the house and garage, always finding something to do with his hands. He also loved helping, supporting and chauffeuring Frieda, as she was active in many areas of service in and around Jefferson. But one of the things that Bernie most enjoyed was driving around the countryside with Frieda looking for various wildlife, especially the bald eagles that were making a comeback in the area.

Bernie was preceded in death by His parents, Walter and Myrtle Sayre; brothers, Carl, Howard, James, Marvin, Dale and Maurice and his sister, Lois.

His brother, Robert and his sister, Ruthanne, survive him. He will be deeply missed by his sons; Dean (Gail), David (Lori), Donnie (Ann), Danny (Bessie) and Duane (Rachel) and his daughter, Darlene (Marty), 23 grandchildren and 19 great-grand children as well as his faithful dog and friend, Olie.
