Sabet Salib

Salib, Sabet K.

Greece: August 29, 2016. Predeceased by his wife, Mary. Survived by his children, Michael (Eileen Kennedy), Nadine (Seth Kotler) Salib, Mireille Salib; grandchildren, Kieran, Liam and Isaac; brothers, Maher (Theresa) Salib, Fekry Salib & Victor (Amal) Salib; sister, Sophia.

Sabet was born in Cairo, Egypt on January 17, 1940 and moved to the USA on September 12, 1966. He was soon joined by the love of his life, Mary (Yazgi) in 1967. They were married and quickly set out on their path to start a family and raise their children in Rochester, a city they deeply embraced as their new home. With a passion for math at a young age, Sabet pursued his gifts to earn his PhD. in Biophysics. He was a Research Physicist at Eastman Kodak for 37 years before retiring and pouring the entirety of his energies to enriching the lives of his friends and family. Those who knew him will sorely miss his equal ease in lending a compassionate ear, hard earned wisdom, or a quick witted joke to lift a friend's spirits.
