SABATINO, Joseph Michael passed away peacefully with strength and courage at Hospice Peterborough on July 19, 2019 in his 89th year. Joseph was born in Lakefield, Ontario on June 7, 1930, the son of John Sabatino and Margaret Bissonnette. Beloved and cherished husband of Marianne Sabatino (nee Leonard) of 60 years d. March 31, 2019. Loving and proud father of John Sabatino (Fay), Michael Sabatino (Sandra) and Carla Sabatino (Vincent Zaffino). Dear Grandpa to Christina, Cara, Tyler and Jessica. Joe will be dearly missed by his brother Eugene and his wife Ruth of Toronto and their children Timothy and Jason and families. He will be fondly remembered by Sisters-in-Law Betty Lou Fair (late Robert) and Linda Pearson (late Robert), Brother-in-Law, Kevin Heffernan (late Barbara), and many nieces and nephews.

Retired Principal of Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Catholic District School Board. As a long-range thinker, concerned with what students learned for the 1980s, 90s and the 21st century, Joe Sabatino was attune to the “information explosion”. He knew that students must be taught how and where to find relevant information. At the end of his 35 year career in education Joe was quoted as saying, “We are in the midst of a major change in education”.

Upon retiring from education Joe continued to operate several businesses. Born of an innovative father whose spirit fueled Joe, it is not surprising that most of Joe’s life was focused in entrepreneurship. His success was a result of his vision, daring, hard work and good business sense. Joe’s balanced values toward business, faith and community propelled him to positively impact life as he knew it.

Joe had a kind, generous, optimistic and philanthropic nature. He was a happy person who loved life and would do it all again. His strength, determination, strong work ethic, guidance, words of wisdom and storytelling are fondly remembered and cherished. He will be forever missed.

Joe adored his family and treasured his relatives and friends, always seeing the good in everyone. He loved and enjoyed music, especially jazz, blues and swing. A special verse from Louie Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World” is his heartfelt wish for all:

I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you".

Joseph’s family would like to thank the many doctors (Dr. Beamish, Dr. Heidman, Dr. Matheson, Dr. Morelli and Dr. Whiting) and dedicated medical staff, nurses and paramedics at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Emergency Unit and Hospice Peterborough for their tremendous care and compassion during his time with them.

Visitation at DUFFUS FUNERAL HOME, 431 George Street South from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, 2019. Funeral Mass at ST. ANNE’S CHURCH on Wednesday, July 24 at 11:00 a.m. Reception to follow at ST. ANNE’S PARISH HALL.

In memory of Joseph, donations to Hospice Peterborough, Peterborough Regional Health Centre Foundation or Community Living Trent Highlands for CDA would be appreciated by the family. On-line condolences may be expressed at duffusfuneralhome.com

In memory of
Eugene Sabatino
22 March 1933 –
19 February 2022
Eugene Francis Sabatino passed away peacefully at home on February 19, 2022, in his 88 years. Eugene was born in Lakefield, Ontario on March 22, 1933, the son of John Sabatino and Margaret Bissonnette. Beloved and cherished husband of Ruth Sabatino of over 62 years. Loving and proud father of Tim Sabatino (wife Margaret), Jason Sabatino (wife Mona). Dear Grandpa to Madison, Haley, Riley, and Kaylia. Eugene will be dearly missed by his nephews John (wife Fay), Michael (wife Sandra) and Niece Carla (Vincent) and families.
He Retired from Liberty Mutual as one of the top Sales Representatives of 32 years. He had a great passion for his job and, was greatly known within the company. With many awards under his belt.
Upon his retirement he began to spend more time at the cottage of over 40 years. Winters away in Florida and summers on the lake. These were his favorite places to be. He spent more time driving his classic Corvette and going for long boat rides.
Eugene always loved to tell stories to his kids about his father. Working in the Nephton quarry and mines. The way he told the stories made it sound like his father was a jack of all trades - converting some barges and tugboats. One of his favorite stories from his father was when he took his 'Model A' car and decided to put skis on the front to make it better in snow.
Eugene adored his family and treasured his relatives and friends. He always saw the good in people. He loved and enjoyed music popularly known as the Big Bag Era. Jazz, blues and swing. He also loved a good book. The Sabatino family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses that helped care for him.
Visitation will be held on Monday, February 28 from 5-8 p.m. Service will be Tuesday, March 1, at St. Gregory’s Church. Due to current covid procedures in place please use the “registration” link below to sign-up for both the visitation and service.

In Memoriam: Bernadette Serafini April 13, 1938 - December 1, 2003 - Six years have come and gone, And again I wonder if I can go on. But with the breaking of each dawn, Once more I want to be strong. Then in the bright light of day all my doubts and fears seem to fade away. It is then that I hope and pray that the good Lord will bring us back together some fine day. As always, Beaner
