Mr. Rodney Savoy was an educator of the first order! I was scared of math and he made it fun and interesting. Consequently, I earned a "B+" in his Geometry class. I will always be thankful for his refreshing approach to teaching.

Mr. Savoy was my Geometry teacher at Suitland Senior High School in the 1976-1977 school year. He made a subject that very much intimidated me very much fun!!! I am now 60 and I still recall his jovial yet determined approach to teaching. In adulthood, I’ve found out that several of my friends had him as a teacher at Howard High School and they have the same fond memories of him as their teacher.

Irving, I am saddened to learn of the death of your brother. My daughter met you as a teacher at Northwestern. Several people have confused me with you. God be with you . Jerry Murrell

Though we haven't seen much of the family in years, I will never forget how you helped me with my math at Coolidge High you were my saving grace. God bless your family.

A wonderful teacher who made learning fun with a ready smile. I did not like math, but needed to have the class AND pass it, so somehow I finagled my way into Mr. Savoy's Geometry class because I heard he was a good teacher... he was actually the best! I received a "B" ( yes, 40 years later, I still remember). Thank you Mr. Savoy, rest in paradise always, sir.
