Not sure what to say?

Good thoughts, good words, good deeds. Charlie was the example for the rest of us.

I miss Charley on a daily basis and treasure the many years when we were teaching for the Consortium . I was always inspired by his devotion to the the highest ideals of our profession and his deep commitment to social justice . He was a brilliant , compassionate man who touched the lives of countless people in so many beautiful ways . The world is a better place because of Charley .

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE.
If only you could have made it past that 72.
I love you,
You sister Carol

Dr. Sabatino was the epitome of what it means to be a teacher. Having had the privilege to take many of his classes, I can say that he was a true inspiration and opened my eyes to the world in a way no other professor ever has. He was a great man and will be missed.

Dr.Sabatino was the best teacher I had at Daemen. He will be greatly missed!

Charlie's classmates from Rome in the 1960's salute him for his “legacy of accomplishment and service.” Many responded to the emailed obituary with feelings similar to those quoted, plus memories of joy and warmth.

I can't begin to say what a pleasure and privilege it was to have been your neighbor and friend. You taught me so much by your examples. You are in my prayers.

My deepest condolences to Dr Sabatino's family and friends. Dr Sabatino was a superstar in every sense of the word. Frequently I witnessed his instilling hope and inspiration to those with none, and in doing so extended the length of many lives through his gift of positivism. He will be greatly missed, and his spirit will live on forever.

Like so many others, I was blessed to have Charlie as a professor, mentor, and friend. His influence was so profound that 16 years after college, I asked him to officiate at our wedding. His friendship was so constant that he agreed, traveling with Carol to Michigan to celebrate with us and deliver a wonderful ceremony.

He helped us think more critically, and consider carefully the multitude of possibilities and their value. I will carry him with me always.
