Art Savage, the owner of our beloved River Cats, died today at age 58. His death was sudden and shocking; he had recently beat lung cancer. A family member of mine who had a personal and professional relationship with Mr. Savage writes:
Would you please let the Sac Rag readership know that their community has lost a truly good and decent man.
Most will know that he was a hugely successful in professional sports and that he brought that success to Sacramento. Those who knew him know that he could have been successful at anything and that he shared his success with those who worked with him. Those who knew him the best know that none of his success, though, was anything at all compared to his love for his wife and family and his loyalty to his friends.
What a legacy he has built in the River Cats. He will be sorely missed and my heart goes out to his family. RIP
The Sac Rag 
I met Art and Susan a couple times and they seemed so genuine and nice. The love for their son was obvious too. With all the rotten npeople in the world it is sad to lose a good one. RIP, Art.
