Deepest sympathy Anne on your sad loss. I remember Frank's humour, warmth and dedication to his students in my early years teaching at CPCC.

Very saddened to hear of Frank's passing. A wonderful teacher with the warmest personality. May he rest in peace xx

It is with sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Frank, beloved husband of our former colleague Anne.
Our deepest sympathies are with you Anne, and with all those impacted by Frank's passing. May the memories you shared together bring solace in the days, months and years ahead.

On behalf of everyone in the Department of Adult and Community Education, Maynooth University, Co. Kildare

Anne,

Sending you my deepest condolences and lots of love and support at this difficult time. Frank was a wonderful person and I feel lucky that I got to know him a little bit through you. I have a lovely memory of the morning over coffee and breakfast in your house last Christmas.

There really are no words, but I'm thinking of you, and of course of Texa. Be gentle with yourself.

Best wishes,

Cliodhna xx

My sincere condolences to Anne on the passing of Frank.

Sincere condolences to Anne, Joe and Yolanda on the sad passing of Frank. May he rest in peace

Dear Anne, I am so sorry to hear of Frank’s passing. I met you in Carrickfergus last Nov and you told me about yourself and Frank arriving there by sailing boat one time. Although I never met Frank, I imagined the two of you gentle kindred souls having lovely adventures together. Le grá Marian

In my experience, teachers who actually genuinely care about students are rare. It's a great compliment for me to say that Mr. Savino was one of those teachers. You knew he cared and was thinking about you outside of school hours. You just knew he was someone you could trust. People like this are just rare people. Irish teacher Mrs Griffin is the only other one who was like that. Mr. Savino was an absolute diamond and you knew you were in the presence of a very special man when he was around. I'm honoured and extremely lucky to have had him as a teacher. RIP

So sad to hear of Franks death. Condolences to Anne and all of your Friends and Family. I spent many years singing with Frank in Cantairi Avondale, we made wonderful music and had a lot of fun. Frank was a force of nature and loved by all in the Choir. He was some Man for one Man. Let the Music keep your Spirit high Frank.

RIP Sir.

Always remember your kindness & your lovely singing voice!

A wonderful Teacher.

Condolences to Mr Savino Family at this sad & heartbreaking time

My sincere condolences to Frank's wife and all the Savino family and extended families on the loss of such a wonderful gentleman. Frank was so kind to me when i taught in cpcc and i have fond memories of him. May he rest in peace

My condolences

Anne, So sorry to hear of your loss. Never met Frank but the love you shared was obvious. Sending strength for the
future.

Dear Anne,
I'm so sorry to hear of Franks sudden passing. He was such a fun energetic authentic principled person. He seemed to grab life with both hands and really live it. I'm so sorry for what you have lost. Thinking of you. Roisin Mc Donnell

Anne,
I was incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Frank. Deepest condolences to you and your family for your great loss. I have such fond memories of working alongside Frank in Collinstown Park Community College, especially of his wonderfully melodic singing voice wafting down the corridors. Rest in peace, Frank.

I was very sorry to hear about Frank's passing. He was so encouraging as a colleague. His great sense of humour and his kindness to the students were admirable. His love of music and his singing in the school shows and choirs enhanced our performances. Thinking about you Anne and the family. May your good memories help through these days.

So sorry for your loss, Frank was a gentleman and a good person to spend time with.

Deepest Sympathy Anne to you, all the Ryan, Savino & extended families on the passing of Frank.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.
May Frank rest in peace.

The sad news of Frank’s passing was a great shock to us although we met again only a few times in all those years since we first came across each other.
In the closing years of the 1970s, we shared a house in Maynooth with Anne and Frank – probably the most carefree time of our lives with lots of happy memories coming back now as we write this.
Looking back we appreciate all the more how much both of you gave to us in those formative years.
Go raibh mile maith agat.

Du bist nicht tot, du wechselst nur die Räume.
Du lebst in uns und gehst durch unsere Träume. (Michelangelo).

Wishing you, Anne, all the strength you need in these difficult times.

Sincere condolences to Anne & family on the death of Frank. I had the great pleasure of working with him in Collinstown Park. He was a caring, passionate, loyal and committed teacher, educationalist and colleague. Full of charm and bold as brass! In the words of so many of his beloved students, he was ‘a legend’.

Dear Anne, so sorry to hear of your great loss. I remember Frank as caring , empathetic and highly principled. I recall him in Maynooth as a wonderful , engaged , challenging and charming student both as an undergraduate and in his graduate studies days . Deepest sympathy.

My sincere condolences to Anne , your extended family and friends , on the sad loss of Frank . Our paths crossed through choral singing over the years ….happy memories . May he rest in peace .

In the 1970’s, Frank was a neighbour and friend, living in Temple Mills Celbridge. He introduced Leo and I to the joys of canoeing and kayaking…Never was the River Liffey so enticing as viewed from the canoe.. Fond memories of a charismatic man Frank Savino. Condolences to his wife Anne and family. May He Rest in Peace.

Sincere condolences on Frank's passing, so many memories of working with him, you would hear him before you saw him because he was always singing! He fitted an awful lot of living in to one life and I am so glad for that. He meant an awful lot to our parents and students and that lives on.

Mr savino was a great teacher had many of great times great chat’s never a dull moment will b sadly missed, condolences to the family may he rest in peace 😢

I had the privilege to get to know Frank just little over the past year, due to his unwavering passion in protecting Castletown.
He was a steady and robust believer in following the truth of his convictions and this he did with no fanfare, just a grounded presence.
And that presence meant a lot to so many.
May he rest in peace.

It’s with great sadness to hear of passing of a legend ,that inspired the students of Collinstown , teaching was franks passion a mastermind of knowledge with incredible humour a gentleman

Sincere Sympathy to Anne and all franks family at this very sad time for you all. RIP. Frank.

Cant believe im reading this, frank was such a gentleman & also a great.teacher an friend to myself an my children, thinking of Anne an ur extended family 💙

"I began to know my story then. Like everybody's, it was going to be the story of living in the absence of the dead. What is the thread that holds it all together? Grief, I thought for a while. And grief is there sure enough, just about all the way through. From the time I was a girl I have never been far from it. But grief is not a force and has no power to hold. You only bear it. Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery."
-Wendell Berry

I was tremendously grateful to know Frank - he was such a force of nature in so many ways. Witty, warm, kind. I will always be grateful for our conversations about books, and birds, and nature, and life. Sending my love to you, Anne, and of course dear Texa.

Frank was a truly remarkable man whose love and passion for life left an indelible mark on everyone he met. Love and democracy were at the very heart of who he was, and he carried those values into every interaction, every conversation, and every relationship he built.

Our shared passion for motorcycles brought us together, and I’ll always cherish the countless hours we spent in the saddle. But it was the man beneath the helmet—his warmth, his genuine way of listening, and his ability to truly connect with people—that made him unforgettable.

Frank had a way of making everyone feel seen and heard, no matter who they were. He didn’t just care—he engaged, he understood, and he inspired. I loved him deeply and miss him profoundly.

Rest easy, amigo. You’ll always ride with me in spirit.

So very sorry to hear this, such a great teacher, thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones

Deepest sympathy to Anne and Franks extended family. I have such fond memories of working alongside Frank in Neilstown.

My heartfelt condolences to Anne and your extended Ryan and Savino families on Frank's sudden passing. Frank was a wonderful person and I am grateful I was able to enjoy his friendship, humour and love of life since moving to Celbridge.

Sorry to hear this sad news beautiful person , great history teacher made it all sound so interesting..

So sorry to hear of this. Frank and I shared a couple of fairly tricky classes especially in my early days of teaching, a lovely man with his own unique approach. Our students loved him and he had so much time for them. Sleep tight Frank

Deepest condolences on the sad passing of Mr. Savino. A wonderful teacher. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

So sorry Ann to hear of Frank passing l first got to know Frank and yourself when you moved into 26 and had his big boat in the garden and then moved on to motor bikes it was a pleasure to know him RIP

So sorry to hear about frank and his passing, always enjoyed our few words and quips , as we passed each other deep down in Castletown estate and parklands over the years. Frank often with dog or dogs in tow.......... i had to decide who was fittest man or animal.?
in more recent times, we talked about security in Celbridge, and the sorry run down state of Castletown now. i got to know Frank and Ann in Collinstown park cc, where he generously helped me out in the teaching world, and pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Frank........

Sincere condolences to Anne and family. Frank will be sadly missed by us all and the rest of his many friends in the motorcycle community. We'll miss his funny stories and great company. Rest in Peace Frank

Anne and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending you much strength at this difficult time.

Our paths crossed recently and regularly at the gates of Castletown. I truly enjoyed Franks company, and am grateful to have met such a gent. RIP Frank.

Dearest Frank has passed. Comhbhrón ó chroí leat, a Anne. I imagine him journeying to new places, perhaps by sailboat or by motorbike; finding friends to dine with, and campfires to sit around; sharing songs and stories. Frank will be missed. I was lucky to know him.

Deepest condolences to Anne and family. May Frank rest in peace 🙏

So sorry to Anne and family on the passing of Frank, we were all devastated to learn of his passing, I whiled away so many hours at Castletown gates listening to his fascinating perspective on life. Amanda
