From Joyce Birmingham, KA2ANF

It is indeed with tremendous sadness that I share the following with you. My Partner and my best friend for many years, George Sabbi passed away on Saturday, June 3rd 2023 after a brief illness.
George was active as Bergen/Passaic County Coordinator for the National Weather Service SKYWARN Program (Upton, NY). He was a retired lighting designer for the Philadelphia/New York Metro area having worked in Film, Stage and Theatrical Productions. George was also a Photographer and loved "capturing the light." He also loved sharing his knowledge of Amateur Radio and communications, as well as his passion for cooking. He will be missed by his many friends and family.
