It is with deep sadness we report the passing of Mark Savino.

Savino, 35, has been identified as the victim in the tragic accident of Route 9W in Congers on Saturday. He is a lifelong resident of Congers and comes from a proud family with strong ties to the area. Mark was a beloved employee/technician at Congers Collision.

Below is a review left by a motorist who Mark assisted and encompasses who he was a person.

“My vehicle broke down on IS 87. I nearly made it to the shoulder of the road. Congers Collision came to pick me up and tow my vehicle. The technician that came was Mark S. At first glance he asked me if I was ok. I smiled and said yes. He was very gracious and thoughtful. I immediately felt safe. He is just the nicest guy you want to meet.  As frightened as I was on that highway….he made me feel very glad “he” was the one to come to my aide – “ Sandra

Officially known as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday was originally meant to honor the country’s first president, George Washington. Eventually, the holiday included Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. Presidents Day is observed on the third Monday of February each year. 

According to the then-used Julian calendar, Washington was born in Virginia on Feb. 11, 1731. In 1752  Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved his birthday a year and 11 days to Feb. 22, 1732.

During the American Revolution, George Washington stayed at the DeWint House in Tappan. The DeWint House is the oldest surviving building in Rockland County. George Washington also camped out at Washington’s Encampment in West Nyack on Strawtown Road.

Your kindness might make a world of difference to somebody. This is the best week for you to show your support for the cause and help out someone in need.”
