1927-2019
The Standard-Examiner shares that Lynn Roy Saunders, 92, loving husband, devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully Sunday, September 1, 2019. He was attended to by his loving daughter and son and other family members.
Lynn and his brothers Richard and Lyle were the founders of Saunders Outdoor Advertising which originally began as a screen process printing company in 1954. During the 1960s, Screen Craft actually printed the logos for the Minute Man Missiles now displayed in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Screen Craft eventually evolved into an outdoor sign company, finally changing its name to Saunders Outdoor Advertising.
Four sons of the original owners (Gary, Rob, Ryan and Weston Saunders) grew up in the business and now run the company.
