RAYMOND SAAR
Raymond “Ray” Keith Saar, 87, died in Apple Valley on June 14, 2007. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and was a graduate of USC.
Ray had a distinguished career as an aerospace engineer with the U.S. Space Program, spanning from the earliest rockets through the manned space explorations and ending with the Strategic Defense Initiative Projects. During a brief hiatus from aerospace in the 1970’s, Ray founded and developed TEL-MED with the San Bernardino County Medical Society. TEL-MED is a telephone tape library designed to give the public free access to medical information on hundreds of subjects. It was implemented throughout the U.S. and adapted to foreign countries as well.
In retirement, Ray continued to invent and was the holder of several U.S. patents. He was kind and generous to his family, friends and strangers. He was deeply loved and will be strongly missed.
Ray was preceded in death in 1983 by his first wife, Margaret.
Ray is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Carol Saar of Apple Valley; daughter, Mary Fischle and her husband, Rick of Sky Forest; son, Dick Saar and his wife, Franny of Vista; son, T. Keith Saar and his wife, Mary of Sebastapol; son, Greg Saar and his wife, Yvette of San Clemente; daughter, Elisabeth Leach and her husband, Layne of Dallas, Ore.; stepson, Brent Burley and his wife, Pat of Monterey Park; stepson Rich Burley and his wife, Deborah of Dallas, Texas; 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 30, at Oasis Church, 11610 I Ave. in Hesperia with Pastor Jeff Ludington officiating.
Memorial donations may be made in Ray’s name to Moses House, P.O. Box 2033, Victorville, CA 92393.
