Robert J. Savich 1948-2025

He was born March 3, 1948, in Aliquippa, Pa., a son of the late Stanley and Anne Hornyak Savich.

He graduated from Hopewell High School in Pennsylvania and joined the United States Air Force, serving during the Vietnam War.

Robert was an owner of R&R Inc. with his family.

He lived his life with generosity, humor and a strong sense of what mattered most. He proudly supported Junior Phantoms Youth Hockey and South Range Schools, offering several scholarships along the way, because he believed kids deserved a chance and a little encouragement (and maybe a gentle nudge in the right direction).

He was a member of Allen Masonic Lodge #276, valuing tradition, friendship and service. He had a well-known love for Corvettes — sleek, powerful and just flashy enough to make him smile. When he wasn’t talking cars, he was growing garlic, convinced that homegrown was better, and probably telling anyone who would listen about it.

He enjoyed the contrast of his favorite places, splitting time between Taos, New Mexico, and Naples, Florida, equally content in the quiet of the desert or with his toes in the sand. Through it all, his children and grandchildren remained the true center of his world. They were his greatest joy, his biggest source of pride and the people he loved more than anything — no contest.

Robert leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife of 51 years, the former Evelyn Ralich; his son, Christopher (Molly) Savich; his grandchildren, Lucas, Claire and Owen Savich; and his sister, Elaine Dmitrovich; along with several nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Stanley Savich.

Friends will be received 10 to 11:45 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025, at the Cunningham-Becker Funeral Home in Poland, followed by a funeral service beginning at noon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that material contributions be made to Gabba Camp, 4730 McCartney Road, Lowellville, OH 44436, or by going to www.gabbacamp.com/donate, in his memory.
