Rafee Saba

To the Saba family - I lived right next to Mr. Saba off of Chipplegate in south Toledo. I remember talking to him by the back fence, Me andmy borthers were his blade carriers. He used to show movies in his back yard for all the kids in the neighborhood. I also remember his dogs were all named Cheech. He will truly be missed.

I am sorry for your loss but happy for Rafee to be with his beloved Ruth.
They were my neighbors on Woodbrier and I cherish the memories of our times together. Both were such wonderful and talented people.

I remember the smells wafting down the street coming from the kitchens of my Sitto; Victoria (Prephan) Farran, and her neighbors; our cousins, the Saba's.

To Gary and Family:

Remember Ontario Street? All the wonderful memories of your parents and grandparents and your beautiful sister, Marianna? They live in my heart, never to be forgotton.

I had the great pleasure to work with your father at the Lucas County Board of MR/DD till he retired and his art of workmanship from the magic of his hands was increditable!

Rafee and Ruthie's spirit of love is within you Gary, and your children....your parents were kind and...

Although our time knowing Rafee was short... he made a lsting impression on our staff. Was a kind, gentle spirited man. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace Rafee - you and Ruth are always in my heart and thoughts.
