Fred Bernard Savage, 86, of Bay City, our devoted and friendly husband, father, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend was born into eternal life on the afternoon of Friday, June 3, 2016 at The Carriage House. Fred was born in Bay City on May 16, 1930, the son of the late Bernard and Marie (Timm) Savage. He graduated from St. Mary’s School and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in July of 1948, serving four years during the Korean Conflict. Upon return home, Fred attended Western Michigan University on the G.I. Bill where he learned how to repair appliances. At a Catholic singles dance, he met the former Patricia Boyle. They dated, fell in love, and were united in marriage on November 27, 1959 at St. Helen’s Church in Saginaw. Fred was the owner and operator of Stambaugh Appliance, retiring in 2010. Having visited all continents (including Antarctica), Fred and Pat’s love for traveling was unmatched. Fred’s favorite place to visit was Paris. Due to his love for history, when traveling Fred could be found frequenting museums and cemeteries. Fred was a talented cook and a skilled wood worker, restoring old furniture and building kits from scratch. Fred leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Pat of fifty-six years; children, Michael Savage and Paul (Jeanette) Savage; grandchildren, Ashley, Mariah, Nicole, and Justine; great-granddaughter, Adelai; siblings, Edward (Carol) Savage, Catherine (Hugh) Treanor, Mary (Peter) Micelli, Ann (Donald) Sanborn; in-laws, Robert Kalinowski and Barb Savage, along with many nieces, nephews, and friends.
