I recently returned from being out of the country and found out that my good friend Stephen Sabbeth had passed away. Steve was a successful businessman and political leader. My dad, Judge Seymour Custen organized Democrats to Save Long Beach and picked Steve to run for Long Beach City Council . He won and became the youngest Long Beach City Council President in 1976. He later became Chairman of the Nassau County Democrats and Nassau County Elections Commissioner. Steve graduated Long Beach High School (NY) in 1965 and was "Class Politician". He also stared in the school operetta with Billy Crystal. I send my condolences to Carole (Steve and I were together the night he met Carole) and his family. May he rest in peace.
