My brothers knew Pinky better than I. However, we all went to El Ddorado High School in the late 50's and early 60's. The most lasting memory I have of Mary, Spider and Pinky is that at any point during ski season one if not all had a limb in a cast. Pure dedication!!



Now, all three are together again in peace. May the Lord be with them.

Condolences to the Sabich Family,

The news of Steve's passing leaves my heart ever so low. Steve had the strenghth and imagination to follow Spider around our world, not many men could have done that. I loved them both.

My condolences to the Sabich family.

To Pinky's sons - When you see someone smile, think of your father. He put a smile on our faces many times.

God Bless You.

To the Sabich Family...



I read with great sadness today of the passing of Steve, or Pinky, as he was known to me. We went to high school together and he was such a terrific person. We lost track of one another for many years. Last year we had an opportunity to reconnect via a telephone call. He was a great guy and one who left a lasting and positive influence on me, and my life. '



My heart goes out to all of you. Please accept my sincerest condolences for his passing. He will be greatly missed, even by those of us who seldom had contact with him

My sympathies to Steve's family and friends. I like to think that Spider, Mary and now Steve - each so remarkable in his/her own way - are together and happy, as they deserve to be. God bless them all.
