Obituary.................... http://www.littletonandrue.com/obituary/Phillip-D.-Sabin-Lt.-Col-USAF-Ret/Yellow-Springs-OH/1470756 

 

Phillip D. Sabin, Lt. Col USAF (Ret), 66, a precious child of God, joined hands with his Savior on January 12, 2015 after a brief illness. He was born January 10, 1949 to Harry W. and Frances M. (Register) Sabin in Michigan City, Indiana.

 

After graduating from Pontiac Twp. High School, Pontiac, IL, Phil earned his Bachelor's Degree at the University of Illinois and in 1973 was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Phil was a command pilot on the T-37, C-141, C-135 and C-137. He received his Master's Degree from AFIT in 1981 and finished his distinguished career in 1993 at Andrews Air Force Base where he flew Air Force Two. He continued his love of flying as a commercial pilot, retiring in 2013 from Delta Airlines. He traded his wings for wheels and was able to fulfill his lifelong dream of traveling the Alcan Highway to Alaska. Truly, it was "A Wonderful Life."

 

Phil is survived by his beloved wife of thirty-two years, Joyce (Tarlton) Sabin; four sons; Jeremy (Sherel) of Westminster, CO, Jason (Serena) of Ft. Collins, CO, Jake (Nickole) of Yorktown, VA and Jared (Krista) of Dover, DE; nine grandchildren, Jackie, Jocelyn, Josh, Jonathan, Brandon, Matthew, Brianna, Parker and Lila and one great-grandson, Tristen; one brother, Tim (Barb) Sabin of Elizabeth, IL; three sisters, Patricia (Jim) Brubaker of Coal Valley, IL; Nancy (Hal) Herweck of O'Fallon, MO and Mary Beth (Bob) Augspurger of Chenoa, IL; three sisters-in-law, Sue Cutlip and Bobbi (Ted) Kaiser both of Springfield and Sandra Sabin of Centerton, AR and father-in-law, Donald Tarlton, also of Springfield, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, David.

 

A gathering of family and friends will be held from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday January 17, 2015 in the Grace Community Church, 5001 Fishburg Road, Dayton, Ohio 45424, with a celebration of Phil's life to begin at 1 p.m. with Pastor Bob Foote officiating.
