ISHOF Paragon Award Winner Terry Sayring
Passes Away at age 81
ISHOF is sad to announce that Terry Sayring, the 2017 Paragon Award recipient for water polo, passed away on March 16, 2020, after a courageous battle against cancer. Terry was 81 years old.
Sayring first became involved in water polo when, upon being discharged from the Marine Corp in California, he moved in with two Olympic water polo players from El Segundo. They eventually introduced him to water polo innovator and Olympic Coach, Uhro Saari, who got Terry involved in officiating in 1963. The rest, as they say is water polo history.
Terry will always be remembered as one of the great volunteers to have served the aquatic sports selflessly and passionately during his lifetime.
