Mr. Micheal and I met during the time he was driving Uber . I rode with him several times a week for about a year and a half. And over this period of time we became friends he shared lots of stories we talked about Family , his grandchildren were always one of the biggest blessings in his life.
He shared with me lots of old time stories... A lot of times I would be riding with him and he would take a call from his granddaughter, Caitlyn ... And talk about all the rest about baseball games and then going to college and silly little cute wake up calls in the middle of the night just to say they loved him! He was definitely a man of kindness will be forever greatly missed

To Phillis and the kids, cousins and the entire Savage Clan, please accept our deepest condolences.
When Mike´s dad Uncle Rich passed,
It was Mike who reached out and kept the Savage connection going with the Savage´s in Albany. We are grateful for that.
From my brother Mike and I,(Moss and Rich passed) please keep us in the loop on the celebration of life in July
Will miss you Mike!

I guess my first memory of Mike is from St. Paul's school, 4th grade...

Michael (pops) Savage was like a father to me since I was 8 years old. He taught me many things about being a man and father. I owe a lot of what my relationships with my kids have turned out to be to Pops. Unknowingly he taught me how to talk to my kids about issues in their lives and how to mitigate challenges that I had with them. He also brought my best friend to Virginia 37 years ago, to which I am very grateful for. I have many great memories with pops one of which was the maiden voyage of my first boat. He was thrilled to be apart of that milestone and I was happy to have him there. I will always be grateful for the love he showed me and my daughters. I love you pops and will never forget you or the lessons you taught me.

Sincere sympathy to all of Mike´s family and friends. I think I knew him for 60 years or more. The Savage family and the Fox/Heslin/McNamara/Hahn go waaay back. We all swam in the river together as kids, and visited many of the same establishments as we got older. And, to top it off, Mike was behind the bar at the State Line Tavern on 3/17/81 (St. Patrick's Day) when my now-wife and I shared our first kiss.
I was so happy to reconnect a few years ago when he and his family visited Lake Norman.

RIP, old friend.

Sincere sympathy to the family. My memory of Mike goes back to elementary school at St.Marys and knowing the whole family. He remained in touch through social media and will be truly missed.

My father was a man who loved to connect. As he passed it was easy to see that he maintained love as best he knew how - because he was surrounded by room full of family and friends. The staff at the hospital was moved by the love in the room, and his daily calls and weekly check ins with everyone he knew made sure that the connections and love were always there.
