05.12.2008 : Hugh Ashley wrote Dudley Savage's voice was a major part in his success. He had a quiet and warm voice which fitted the request programme admirably. His early programmes were 'live' from Plymouth, and one morning when heavy snow lay on the ground, he walked into the theatre from Cornwall so that the programme could go ahead. He will be much missed. I heard him play a house organ recital one evening in Poole and his warm personality shone through the music he played.

06.12.2008 : Jerry Foale wrote I was fortunate to meet Dudley and his wife later in their lives through his CDs and cassettes he made. I have never meet a couple who were warmer and kinder, and very obviously in love. Dudley was such an unassuming man, and never courted his fame and talent. In fact, he used to say that his OBE stood for "Other Buggers Effort", such was his modesty towards his huge achievements in the world of entertainment.

I will always remember both Dudley and Doreen, and send my deepest sympathies to his family. God bless you both.

12.12.2008 : David BOOKER wrote Dudley was a "perfectionist" on the organ. which was his life. A typical English gentleman, he was always keen to involve younger musicians to follow in his footsteps. Apart from his sterling work on radio ( or wireless, as he preferred to call it ), & television, he spent most summers touring both in this country & abroard giving organ performances ( he didn't like the word " recitals ") to ever appreciating audiences in churches as well as theatres, and he was always invited back for repeat performances. It was a privilige to have experienced your enthusiastic "showmanship" Dudley, and may you now entertain on a "higher plain".
