John, you were a great inspiration. You were always positive like an unstoppable force. You excelled were others wondered. There was not can't do but how can we make it work. You were willing to help people you didn't know that well, but you thought they needed your hand. You were able to raise a great family and give them the best quality you had. You were affable, funny, and had a very humble heart. For that and more you will be greatly missed.

John was a remarkable man, father, and friend. Behind every great man is a great woman. Where would John have been without Carolyn? Somehow she will keep you organized John.
I enjoyed the time I spent teaching and coaching the Sable children. I quickly learned what a fantastic family man John was as I had the pleasure of being Carly's second grade teacher and John and Joey's wrestling coach. I remember John telling me, "When in doubt push them harder." I will never forget the time John invited me to a Redskins game and he left the tickets on his desk. Before we left for the game I asked him if he had the tickets and he assured me they were in his hat. As usual he had a solution to the problem. He was able to acquire more tickets at the game. John always had a way of making things work. He was always able to find the good in the bad. I will miss you John Sable, but I will never forget the impact you had on my life and all those that knew you. I look forward to watching your young family grow into adults, and always know I am there for any of them should they need any guidance.

I still think of Johnny Paul quite often. John became my mentor early on in my career as a Mortgage professional. Through out the years we spoke to each other a few times a day. He welcomed all my employees with open arms and mentored them as well. Johnyy was a great man. It was a year ago that I attended Johns 50th Birthday party. I am extremely Sad that my good friend is no longer with us.

Mr. Sable,
I met Mr. Sable while looking for a job in the mortgage business. I met him twice and he was very knowledgeable. I only wish I had more time working with Mr. Sable.

I first met John several years ago when he walked through the doors of our office with a big smile and warm greeting. That is how I always remember John, with that big smile and a heart felt laugh. I am very greatful to have know John and his family. Through patience and time he gave, I learned about this mortgage business. He was a mentor and a friend. He is missed by me, and many others.

John's memory and the way he conducted business is representative of a visionary that treated individuals with fairness and integrity. Having been so successful in one of the most competive industries while demonstrating such positive attributes is a testament to his character. His vision and unselfish development of up and coming talent created opportunities for many individuals, teams, and families that continue to flourish. He is sorely missed as one of the true “Good Guys” in the industry that would pick up the phone and share knowledge and insight, even if there was no direct benefit to him. He was good friend to many.

I met John while working at WMC in Chantilly. He was new to the business then but it did not take long before he was the top producer there which was no surprise considering how hard he worked at it. Later when John opened his own mortgage company he was one of my customers and we did some business together-he was great to work with and always mixed a little business with pleasure. I remember playing golf with the "Sable boys" John, Luke and Mark at Pohick Bay we all had a great time. To put it simply- I am really going to miss John-with his great sense of humor, athletic ability, business sense and being such a great family man well he was just one of a kind. God's speed John and thanks for being a good friend

John was the kind of man that you meet and never forget. He had tremendous character and always carried himself with a sense of pride and purpose.

It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with John. He was great at what he did and he was always a team player. John built one of the most successful teams in the whole company and he always treated his people with respect. Many on John's team learned a great deal under his leadership. He was a consummate professional and we will all miss him dearly! My heartfelt and deepest sympathy goes out to John's wife and children.

I had the pleasure of working with John on several projects through out the years at WMC. He always represented himself with class and good humor. He was a family man first and always spoke about what he was doing or the next thing he wanted to do with his family. May God bless his family and God bless you John.

We will never forget our bowling match in CA during our years at WMC at one of our sales meetings. A large group of us were at the bowling alley and Michael and I were on John's team. Just like Harold Jackson said, John went after it with a vengence and was determined he was going to win. We were all having a good time, but even Michael and I eventually gave up, but John continued to bowl his heart out. To this day I still enjoy remembering that evening and how much fun Michael and I had spending the evening with John. I also am happy to say that I ran into John at the VAMB function last Fall and he seemed to still be the same sweet person I knew him to be. John was always fun to be around with all of his funny sayings and comments and Michael and I are glad to say that we knew John and counted him as a friend. Our best to his family who I am sure will miss him very much!

John was one of those people that you meet and never forget. The way he always made everyone laugh with his quick wit. He was a amazing person and will be missed by everyone who's lives he has touched. My prayers are with his family and we can only pray that he is making the angels laugh like he did with all of us.

Some people come into our lives just in passing and they leave a mark forever. John was one of those people. As so many others have already noted, John made people smile, and he commanded peoples attention in the most natural subtle ways. It's people like John that make our lives here on earth more enjoyable. Thank you John for all the smiles and inspiration. As time passes and hearts heal, may the Sable family look back upon the pages here and recall all their own happy moments and see how easily John shared the same joy with everyone he ever met. May God Bless each of you, always.

John was a wonderful man and it was a pleasure to work with him. He was always positive and could make anyone laugh. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I am very sorry for your loss! You will all be in my thoughts and prayers always.

John will be greatly missed by all who knew him. I had the pleasure of working with him at WMC and can recall so many company events where he would bring the whole room to laughter. His wit, charm and enthusiasm made him a pleasure to be around and a true friend. He was also amazing at his job and was one of the first people I selected to stay at WMC when we restructured. I always counted his loyalty among the company's best assets. My heart goes out to you all for this loss!

I am very sorry for your loss, John was a great man and a friend. He will be missed by all of us. He always expressed his love for his family and was a very giving of himself. He would always offer his advise when you needed it and he was always fun to socialize with. He had a good sense of humor and was a very hard worker and it was nice to see that he was able to take his hard work ethics to the highst level. Peace be with your family and I am sure he will be looking after us all.

I am sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers.
I met John in 1998 at WMC. He was warm and friendly. He always made you feel like you were special! He was an extrodinary person who always displayed his love for his family, friends, and even work associates. He was someone we could always count on. I was proud to call him a friend and honored to have known him. He leaves a legacy of love.
He will be missed by us on earth and celebrated in heaven!

John never failed to make me smile, his laughter was contagious, it was just the kind of person he is. One of the most generous people I know, he once gave me 12 tickets to a baseball game and told me to take my family, which I did and turned out to be one of the most memorable times we've had, thank you John! It is sad to lose you my buddy, you are terribly missed but your laughter and fun memories will live on in my heart.
Melissa Davis

I began working with John during the last few months of WMC. I would speak with John daily on files, updating the status and any issues that we might be facing. It never failed, if I had an issue with a loan, he would pause...and then say "Well, Git er Done!" I would hang up and think...what does that mean? How in the world am I gonna 'Git er Done!'... Oddly, John and I ended up just 'Gittn er Done! John's saying has often popped into my mind, since those days, when I have faced issues and it always seems to make things easier!

John was one of the greatest people I have ever met. He was always smiling and laughing. He had a great infectious personality that would just light up a room when he entered. I will greatly miss him as I know all will. We lost a great human being in John and I know that I will be a better person for having known John and being a part of his life.

I only knew John for a few years, but what I know about him is that he was a very giving person and a leader among leaders. He was always willing to give of himself to help others he barely knew and more than he may have realized, richly blessed my life with his wisdom. I pray that our heavenly Father will comfort the Sable family in this time of mourning.

It was very heartwarming to read all the wonderful things people have had to say about him. I am so sorry for the family's loss; you must miss him terribly. He was an amazing guy!

Whenever I think of John I smile remembering that silly smile, that infectous laugh and the sparkle in his eye. John was always up to something and inspired those around him. What a tragedy that has fallen on a man of character and on a loving family. My sympathies and prayers to those who have been robbed of a father, son, brother, friend, mentor, coach and husband. We worked together for several years in many different capacities and I will not forget him!

John was the best.. He was a man of his word. I could always count on John. He approached business like baseball. He was an intense competitor, played to win, and won with integrity. We worked together in Woodland Hills and Dallas..I am thankful I had the opportunity to work with and call John my friend. John... you are the man.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the Sable family.

John was a one of a kind guy. He was a fearless leader and businessman yet had this soft and caring side. He was not only a mentor but I always aspired to find the success and balance that he was able to find. It still doesn't seem possible that he has left us. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers will remain with the Sable family and especially to his young children.

John was always such a sweet and good and decent guy. I remember he and his brother, Mark, going back as far as Woodley Hills. What a terrible tragedy to lose him at such a young age, after having come so far in his fight to regain his health. I know he was a family man, and he will be greatly missed by both his family, and by the many friends he made throughout his life. Carolyn, you and family are in my thoughts and prayers. John's spirit will live forever in many hearts. God bless.

I met Johnny in 1973 when we both played on the Cardinals. What a team, we had Bolton, Rager, Lucarelli, Mcguire, Thomas, and Dolph Fick. Johnny was the guy that kept us laughing and he would always make us remember that it was a game; "we were supposed to have fun". From there it was years of football at Mt. Vernon. I can remember Johnny's 50 yard touchdown run against Fort Hunt in the 1977 district championship game like it was yesterday. He hit off right tackle, shot the gap and cut back untouched. That run turned the game around and we won the the district for the first time in 10 plus years. Later on in life Johnny and his family moved to Fairfax Street across from my mother. They were great neighbors and really looked after her. Johnny's smirk, the look that he gave you and his laugh will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Paul Kenney

I've known John since high school and really didn't begin to know him well until our past few reunions.

John was a great colleague, mentor, and most importantly, a great friend. His happiness, determination, and optimism in life was contagious and he shared it with everyone he came in contact with whether it was during work or play. I will cherish the memories of John and will deeply miss him.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the Sable family and all of John's many friends. As classmates, teammates, friends, and coaching associates, we always had the utmost respect for John. Though extremely successful in all of his career endeavors, he always had a youthful exuberance about him that many of us former teammates will look back on and smile about. In high school, none of us will forget his athleticism coupled with a playful selflessness that always made him the most popular guy on the team and unquestionably the funniest. Later, as a coach, he demanded the most out of his players but reminded them it was still a game. It's apparent that John touched many lives in many different ways...he will be missed.
Pauline and Charles Duvall Bevier

John was a great influence on me, and he was a great Coach, in many senses of the word. We spent years working together, and I am so shocked and saddened by his early exit. He was the strongest person I knew. Sable was Superman to all his players and those who knew him. Mr. Johnny "Baseball" Sable was everything to everybody, always there for you. He taught me how to be a better person, husband and father. He had a profound impact on everyone he came in contact with in person or over the phone. He was an incredible people person who could drive you to exceed your expectations. Mr. Sable was an inspiration to all of us on his team, always teaching and giving advice. To me he was a “big brother”, mentor, and a life coach. We will all miss him very much.

I remember John and attended Woodly Hills with him and on from there. I regret that I was not able to make it to the 30th reunion to renew that friendship. He was one of the few names that I remember from the attendee list and was looking forward to seeing at the next gathering. I regret that that meeting will now have to wait. My sympathies go to his family members.

I am so thankful that I was able to see John last year at our 30th HS reunion. He was the same sweet and funny guy that I remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I have received many emails via our class website sharing wonderful memories of John. He will truly be missed...
