Among Savastano's plans were: to buy a van, go on vacation, and also go to an appointment that he had pending with the doctor, which he had not been able to pay due to money and due to not having medical insurance.

Savastano was an independent carpenter. "He had his own business," Scott told ABC. Savastano practiced a profession in carpentry to follow the family tradition after learning the art from his father.

"He didn't have insurance, and he hadn't been feeling well for a long time, I guess, and when he had money, he went to the doctor."
