Dr. Alexander D. Savran

We learned a bit late about the loss of Alex. We met Sharon and Alex via Chenery Middle School in Belmont, MA in 1971 where she was a guidance counselor, and I was French teacher. Alex was such a vibrant, intelligent, and energetic person. Sharon and I shared a love of animals, especially dogs. Alex loved horses and was a talented rider. Visiting them was always an adventure! He gave the ultimate gift to science in order to help others.

Doc was a one and only kind of human being. He was kind and loving to all that came into his life. My grandchildren were blessed to have been born across the road of Sweetcritter farm.
Doc and his lovely wife Sharon opened up
and shared a beautiful appreciation and love for all of the animal kingdom.
He raised and trained race horses with . .a love and passion. His farm included many different species of animals such as ponies, goats, rabbits, chickens and many other exotic...

Doc was an inspiration for us and our grandchildren. His warmth and kindness to them at Sweet Critters gave us a love for him and all animals, great and small.

Alex was a special person. He was a true gentleman. He was interested in everyone. It didn't matter who you were or what you did for a living; he treated you with respect and was ready to be your friend. He will truly be missed.

I met Alex in 1965, when he was a resident in Oral Surgery at Boston City Hospital, where he was a friend of my wife's brother, a resident in Ophthalmology.
We became good friends during my time at Harvard graduate school. We played tennis and squash regularly. He also extracted my wisdom teeth!
After he completed his residency, he bought a house in Medford and turned it into his home and office. I helped him set up the house, and my wife and I visited it regularly.

Rest in peace Doc. Scotch will be very happy to see you.

Our deepest sympathy to Sherri and family with Doc's passing. We will always appreciate all of Doc's help with our shared foster horse, Greta, and all the knowledge and love for horses that he imparted. We will always remember the fun times we had at the farm with Sherri and Doc as we learned about caring for horses, while having great conversations and enjoying their wonderful company. We will never forget our good friend, Doc. May he rest in peace.
