SABGA, Dr. Edward Anthony
Dr. Edward Anthony Sabga OB/GYN passed peacefully on the morning of April 23, 2018 at the age of 82. He dedicated his professional career to the people of Leamington and raised his family in that community. He was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1936. He did his undergrad studies at what is now the University of Windsor (Assumption University at that time) and completed his medical school training at the University of Ottawa in 1962. He trained in Obstetrics and Gynecology in Detroit and was on staff at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario before moving to Leamington in 1969. He was the first OB/GYN to work at the Leamington Hospital, and established the obstetrical ward there. Over his career he spoke publicly through several different forums on women's health in the community and delivered 4950 babies, a number he accurately recorded and that he was immensely proud of. He was a pioneer in our local medical community and a dear friend to those lucky enough to consider him so. His sense of humour and frequent laughter will forever echo anywhere that he spent time. He is survived by his wife Margaret; his children Edward Jr. (Theven), Caron Chamely (Simon) and Douglas (Ann); and his six grandchildren Oliver, Angelica, Eve, Zachary, Talia, and Benjamin. He will be cremated. The visitation will be at the
