I am so very sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. We will definitely donate to a food bank in honor of Guy.
I want to send my deepest condolences to the Savelli Family. He was a beautiful soul whom I did not get the chance to meet in person, yet altered so much of my life over past 2 decades. Not long ago I emailed him and he responded by wanting to meet in NJ. I will honor request for donation to food bank. May God wrap his soul in eternal peace.
Amen
We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Please know that a gift in Guy’s name has been made to the Second Harvest Food Bank, here in Erie, Pa. This gift will help perpetuate Guy’s wish to feed the needy.
Please except Pattie and my sincere condolences and prayers during your time of loss. I trained with Mr. Savilli in the seventies in both Cleveland and Painesville. I was a hard luck kid from the east side of Cleveland and I am and will forever be grateful for Mr. Savillies guidance and support during a difficult time in my life. I will never forget him telling me that he teaches students how to fight but that it was far more important to him that he taught us how to live. I will always hold your family and Mr. Savilli in my heart. RIP Mr. Savilli.
Very sorry for your lose. We will be praying for the Savelli family.

My condolences go out to master Savelli’s family im sad to hear of him passing away and so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I won’t forget the times he came in to teach us something in class and him attending our demonstration classes showing our best trying to impress him.
Eternal rest master. You changed my life for the best. I still do my daily meditations as you taught me some 30 plus years ago. My condolences to Diane and the entire Savelli family. His spirit lives on in everyone that came in contact with him.
Guy taught my father, brother and I. I’m very sorry for your loss.
I want to send my sincerest condolences. I was a student of Grand Master Savelli at the Cleveland, Ohio dojo from 1973 to 1975 until I enlisted in the US Coast Guard. (I taught the first five free lessons for him. Guy showed me that we are far, far more than what religion, science and government tell us we are. I saw him levitate 360 degrees around a student while demonstrating a move. His feet never once touched the floor until the move was complete – and that only begins all the remarkable things I witnessed. I can never forget him.
My friend, teacher and business partner. I will see you again.
Though you are greatly missed, your soul and legacy will live on forever. Thank you for your gift to us.
In God Speed Master Savelli. You worked so very hard to educate the world on your special knowledge of this place we live, what it takes to thrive in the physical and mental spaces, and how to Love even our enemy’s which I still struggle with. I am shocked to learn of your crossing but glad to know I will be seeing you soon in heaven. In God Speed we all Travel.
Sincere condolences…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
