Arturo M Sabino's Obituary
Arturo M. Sabino
It was beautiful Christmas day, on December 25, 1945, Basilio and Bernarda (Manalo) Sabino welcomed their son, Arturo Sabino, into the world. Born in Batan Aklan, Arturo was never alone as a child. His playmates included his three brothers, Dante, Odylon, and Jorge, and his only sister, Ruby.
Arturo would grow up to be very successful man who would become a wizard at numbers and the touch of the piano. He graduated with a master’s degree in accounting and worked as a professional pianist. Family and friends always enjoyed Arturo’s musical artistry, as he would play like Mozart and add his beautiful voice to the notes of songs.
In 1967, while attending college in Manila, Arturo met the love of his life, Celia. They would date for three years, while hiding their courtship from Celia’s overprotective older brother. Overtime, however, Arturo would be trusted and he would wed Celia on June 20, 1970.
Arturo and Celia shared a wonderful and blissful marriage. For 48 years, they traveled the world, listened and played music together, and enjoyed their home in sunny California, but when Arturo made Celia angry, he would turn on the magic and disappear.
Arturo will surely be missed, but never forgotten. His legacy will live on through his lovely wife Celia, and most of all, the magic of his accomplishments and music.
