Mr. Sabo my Science teacher. Steven and I were in many of the same classes. It was ultimately my favorite subject & I very much enjoyed him as a teacher in making the class fun and a great learning experience. One a few classes I looked forward to attending. A wonderful man who will be sorely missed.
Please accept my deepest sympathy on his passing. God Bless.
Mr. Sabo was just a great guy who was really easy to like. I was so bummed out when the Sabo’s moved from Russell Street so many years ago not only because Chris was a good friend but his parents were as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. Very sad to hear of his passing.
Our deepest sympathy for your loss. They were our neighbors for many years when we lived on Pine Street. May he rest in peace.
So sorry Janet. But will always remember the good times at Tee-Bird country club that Sabo and you, and Joan and myself enjoyed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Sabo Family during this difficult time.
