Dick Savage was a gifted artist, both professionally and personally. But you’d never hear it from him. He was self-effacing and humble about his talent. He’d show you his work, but grudgingly. He’d much rather hear about what you were doing. But more than that, Dick Savage was a man of uncommon kindness and decency – one of this planet's truly good people. Of prominent physical stature, Dick was affectionately known as the "Big Guy". You looked up to him figuratively and literally. I will remember Dick for his big laugh, his big personality, and his big heart. He was my friend and mentor, generous of his time, a man I will never forget. He loved his family. He loved his friends. His shoes will never be filled. Rest in peace, Big Guy.
