Louis Saban Obituary

Tomas,Barbara, Patricia, and Christina,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I remember when you all lived in Hamburg and your Dad coached the Buffalo Bills. He was a great coach and had four great children at that time. I remember having some great times babysitting for you during those years. I even have a bracelet you all gave me for graduation and every time I still wear it I think of you four. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The staff and volunteers of Mercy Hospice & Palliative Care wish to express our deepest condolences to Mrs. Saban, their children, and all extended family members. At such a difficult time, it is so thoughtful of you to think of other Mercy patients and family members by creating a memorial in Mr. Saban's memory.

We hope that you will find comfort and peace during this time of sorrow and a measure of solace knowing that gifts received will help us continue our mission and calling to care for and comfort all patients in need within our shared community. It was our privilege to serve your family. Please do not hesitate to call upon us if your family is in need of any emotional support or further assistance.

To Tom Saban and Your Entire Family,
I am so sorry over the loss of your father Lou. He was a true champion of not only Sports, but on how to be a great leader. Lou Saban will always be a Legend in Buffalo.

Lou was my first head football coach in the NFL at Buffalo. Both he and Jim Ringo taught me more football in my first couple of years than I ever new existed. I always admired Lou because all he wanted to do was WIN games and let everything else fall where it may. My sympathies to the Saban family.

I met Coach Saban when he was coaching the Buffalo Bills. He struck me as a good, down to earth man who was focused and 100% dedicated to his team. I'd bet he managed his family affairs the same way - focused - dedicated - family first. He is being mourned in Buffalo where he was both loved & respected. My sympathies to the entire Saban family.

I only met coach Saban one time. That was when he was president of The New York Yankees and I lived in Hyde Park, N. Y.. He gave me and my friend Chuck two tickets to a game and invited us to the front office after the game. Another time, he had tickets at will-call for me when U. Miami played at Notre Dame. I had helped recruit his nephew, Bill, to play football at Iowa State University. I have not forgotten either of them. Coach Saban had a big heart for people. And his thoughfulness for me will never be forgotten. May coach Saban rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord.

Dear Saban Family,

All of us at Comfort Keepers were deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Saban's passing. He certainly enjoyed a long and interesting life. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
