Albany- Richard Patrick Savage, 77 – Passed away, suddenly on Friday, November 17th with his loving wife by his side. Born, September 22, 1946 on Strand Road Tralee County Kerry Ireland.

Richard is survived by the love of his life, his devoted wife of 53 years, Kathleen "Kathy" Lawler Savage, whom me married on May 28, 1972. He is also survived by his younger brothers, Michael (Michele) and Brian Savage. He also leaves behind many heartbroken nieces, nephews and first cousins, from the Savage, Spicer, Foley, Griffin and Lawlor families. His best friend, Tim Robinson and very special cousin, Jeremiah Spicer, also of Tralee, whenever you saw one, you saw the other. He is also predeceased by his brothers in law Paul and Steve Lawler.

In addition to serving in the U.S. Army, Richard was very hard working and spent his career working in Albany, from his young beginnings with the family at Schaefer Brewery to his favorite position of all, the Director of Animal Control for the Town of Guilderland.
The essence of Richard was his devotion to family and friends, supporting them always, in any way he could. Richard will be remembered for his incredible sense of humor, his love of family, caring nature and compassionate heart. Rich could light up any room and always made people laugh. Richard had an amazing love for children and animals, and they were drawn to him. He was also very proud of his Irish heritage! And he will be, forever loved…forever missed.
