Richard Davis Savage

Born October 14, 1932 in Elyria, Ohio to Treva Davis Savage and Paul M. Savage, Dick died on September 30, 2019. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Jean Savage Barth, and his brother, Paul (Bud) Savage. Dick is survived by his wife, Donna John Savage and his children Richard Jr. (Elizabeth), John (Nancy Marie), Mark (Jill), Jennifer, Stephen (Kristina), Anne Savage Venner (Joseph), Sharon Savage Wood (William), as well as his 9 grandchildren. He was a proud alumnus of both Lakewood High School in Cleveland, Ohio and Princeton University, having played baseball for each. His bachelor's degree in engineering prepared him for posts at McGeon Chemical and the Chemical Division of B.F. Goodrich. He went on to complete his career at the National Benevolent Association of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Dick was a devoted and active member of Webster Groves Christian Church, an avid golfer, and enthusiastic fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. A lover of music, he sang in choral groups most of his life. At his request, his body was donated to The Memory and Aging Project and the Washington University Medical School. A memorial service and celebration of his meaningful life will be held on November 3, 2019 at 3:00pm at Webster Groves Christian Church, 1320 Lockwood Ave in Glendale, MO.

There will be a reception following the service which will be held at the church. The family would like all to join for food and sharing memories of Richard.
