Sabine of Gastonia, N.C., Brian Sabine (Darlene Hunnewell) of Durham, Danial Sabine (Sarah) of Sabattus; a daughter-in-law, Davida Sabine of Ohio; his daughter, Catherine Levesque (Toby) of Sabattus; a brother-in-law, who was like a son to him, James Quinlan (Cindy) of Sabattus; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; as well as four special nieces; and many other extended family members.
