I GREW UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HAVE KNOWN FRANK FOR MANY YEARS. MY TWO BROTHERS WORKED FOR HIM AND HE WAS ALWAYS A TRUE GENTLEMAN. MATTER OF FACT HE PLAYED BOTH OF MY BROTHERS IN HANDBALL AT THE PARIS STREET GYM AND WHAT A COMPETITOR HE WAS. AFTER LEAVING THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND RAISING MY OWN FAMILY I AGAIN MET FRANK AT THE BOWLIING LANES, SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS BOWLING THAT I INVITED HIM TO BOWL WITH US AND NAMED THE TEAM '' SAVA'S MARKET" AND WINNING TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS. WE ALL LOVED FRANK AND WE WILL MISS HIM.

All of us who bowled with Frank liked him. Some of us remember his little old time convenience/grocery/Italian cold cut store in East Boston. I also remember how he enjoyed going on those "free" junkets to Atlantic City. May you rest in peace Frank.

My condolences to the Sava family! Frank Sava was a great man. He was also a great bowler! I bowled with Frank at Central Park Lanes in East Boston! We were in the Joe Guarino/St Lazarus Bowling league together. We would joke and laugh and I’ll never forget what he always called me, Partner like in the cowboy movies! Once again my condolences.

Frank will be forever in our thoughts and prayers. He was a unique personality and always had an amusing dialogue. Such a generous man who loved his faith and always had a nice thing to say about everybody. He will be terribly missed. Joe and Lillian Riccio.
