To the Victor Sabo family, especially my very dear friend, Pat. Was just made aware of your Dad's passing. Losing a loved one is never easy but rest assured he is with God and watching over you along with the angels. You have my love and sincere sympathy. Please give "Mom" a hug for me.

So many memories - I had such respect for him and his lifestyle. He played a big part in the Evans family, he was Bruce's godfather and I have a feeling he had something to do with my parents, Norman and Becky, sticking it out through rough times. I miss listening to him chat whether at Campland or Marathon - his confidence demanded an audience. He will not be forgotten. Karen Evans

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Vic was such a bigger than life man for the Bernhard brothers. We will always remember the "great times" we shared at Campland and the visits to Marathon. We also remember what a good friend he was to Dad. He had a special way of letting you know he cared for you. Vic touched all of us. God Bless Him.

To all the Sabo's where ever you are, young and old, we share your pain. He will alwalys be remembered and revered.

My strongest memory of Vic was in 1967 when he donated a hi/lo camping trailer for our honeymoon trip to Niagra Falls, Vic must have walked me around that trailer a dozen times explaining how it worked and it's features...(very strong on details) by the time we got there I had forgotten everthing he told me (like where he put the crank handle)and we had to crawl into it to go to sleep that night, made for an interesting evening.
May God's Grace be with you Mr.Victor John Sabo.

Dear Aunt Helen, George, Pat, Mike, Cookie & David,

What a wonderful picture of Uncle Vic....this is the memory we will always have of him. He was the Monarch of the family and we were so truly blessed to have him at the Sabo Family reunion last year. He may not have known all of us...but most importantly WE all knew him...even the younger family members. Loosing a special loved one is never easy but we know he is up on Heaven with his family and special friends. We will never forget "Uncle Vic". Love to all.

Dear George, Pat and Zach, We are so grateful to our LORD that we had an opportunity to meet your father. We will remember him as a good and cheerful neighbor, who lived next door for too brief a time. We are praying for each of you and Helen, too.

My fondest memories were spent in Marathan Key, Fl with grandpa and grandma sabo and is where we vacationed with out children. It is where my oldest son Corey had his first steps. I will never forget the times spent with grandpa especially on the boat fishing, his favorite thing to do. I remember being there with my ex-husband Mike Sabo on our honeymoon, oh boy some honeymoon spent with his grandparents, well it ended up being a really nice time. I will never forget catching the biggest and only fish of the day,a 12lb grouper and grandpa saying we need to take her more often. Cooking with them and spending thanksgiving and going to campland for cookouts and turkey shoots, those are the memories I remember most and will never forget. Grandpa, I hope you are with your god and fishing with him. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Sabo family and i'm sorry Nick and I can't be there. I'm so sorry for your loss, to all the Sabos.

My fondest memories are of going to Marathan and spending time with grandpa and grandma sabo and fishing and catching the only fish in the boat, which was a 12 pound grouper and Mike my ex-husband fileting it and having it for dinner. Marathan was where Mike and I took our first born Corey and that's where he had his first steps. I will never forget those times and cooking with grandma and grandpa. Oh and the times we had out at campland and all the cookouts and turkey shoots and the thanksgivings we had at grandpa sabos house in dublin. I cherish those memories. But the one that stands out from all the rest is when grandpa sabo wanted me, gail and andy to become catholic at St. Brigids of Kildare and i ended up completed the classes and finally becoming catholic. I know he was very happy that one of us had completed it. I am so glad i did. Thank you grandpa sabo, I know you are in a better place and the fish are plenty. God will be with you. Love Alana Sabo
