Harold L. Savage, 90, of Ontario, CA, passed away October 1, 2009. Harold was born on August 18, 1919 in Denver, Colorado. He attended high school in Pasadena, where he began a decades -long friendship with classmate Jackie Robinson. He joined the US Navy in 1937, and served during WWII as a submariner. He and his wife Madge moved to Ontario in the early 1950s, where he spent a 30-year career with Vons Grocery. For the past 40 years of his life, his chief role was caring for his son, Randy, who at age 17, sustained life-changing injuries when his car was struck by a drunk driver in April of 1969. A long-time member of Westminster Presbyterian church, Harold was a tremendous example of unselfish dedication towards his family. His sharp mind and physical endurance were only surpassed by the strength of his faith in God, a faith which underpinned his relentless pursuit of his son's care and his love and support of his daughter, Brenda Knight, and his grandson, William K. Knight. Harold was predeceased by his beautiful wife, Madge. A dual memorial service for Harold and his son Randy will be held at Vince's Spaghetti Restaurant in Ontario on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
