Sabin John (Johnny) Scheibli 1931-2014.
On the evening of December 9, 2014, one month after his 83rd birthday, Johnny left this life peacefully with family by his side. Being loved, he leaves behind his devoted wife Rosa (Hecher). His legacy is in the love and pride he had in his children: Sylvia (Denis), Robert (Linda), Michael (Katherine) of London, UK, his cherished grandchildren: Jesse (Danielle) and Eric Guite, Christopher and Terri Scheibli (Justin), William, Henry and Katie Scheibli, and great grandchildren Wesley and Isaac. He will also be missed by his dear sister Valerie, brothers Andy, Mike and sisters-in-law Alice and Shelly and will be fondly remembered by his many relatives and friends. Sincere thanks to the Dr.'s and everyone who cared for him and were so kind to us at Brampton Civic Hospital.


After a tumultuous childhood during WWII, moving from Hungary to Austria in 1944, then to Germany in 1946, he, along with the remaining members of his family finally emigrated to Canada 1950. Moving around for a while in the western province of Alberta he eventually settled with his family in Scarborough, Ontario. His career in hospitality lead him to be the beverage manager of the Royal York Hotel where he worked for over 20 years. He met the love of his life in the lobby of the hotel and liked to say that they 'met in the revolving door and have been going around ever since.'


In Brampton, where he moved his family to in 1975 Johnny tried his hand in an entrepreneurial way by buying a local business. Moving on from there he spent many years at the Brampton Golf & Country Club heading up the bar operations. He was well known for running a tight ship and was well thought by the members, staff and guests alike. Johnny was a pragmatic, no non-sense type of man who did not suffer fools lightly. He had a witty sense of humour and liked to spin a good yarn or two every once in a while. He was a house proud sort of man who took great pride in keeping an immaculate garden as he had somewhat of a green thumb.


Above all, family was the most important thing to him. His brothers and sisters were a very close knit group who enjoyed each other's company on a regular basis. They were each others social circle and each other's safety net in life. He took care of his own family by working hard to provide for them and offering his unconditional love in his own special way.

We will all miss him terribly and remember him with great fondness for the rest of our lives.

God speed Dad xxo
