Bob and Jackie-Heronema the greatest man we have enjoyed through The years through the years racing pigeons d i club great pigeon sport Shirley my thoughts and prayers go out to you I know how it is with Bob died love you Jackie.

Wally was one of the most sweet loving and caring friend I ever met. I met Wally when Rock and I was racing pigeons and also when Andy and I were racing pigeons. His wife Shirley is a sweet and loving lady sorry to hear about Wally I would surely miss him my deepest sympathy for you and your family I love you Wally    Mary Peterman.

The summer of 1976, as a college student from Michigan State University,  I had an internship with Sa Bell’s Landscaping and Nursery.  Wally personally mentored me during that summer, and the wealth of knowledge I gained from him helped mold what became for me a successful career in the landscape industry.  He had an incredible work ethic (that could exhaust a 21 year old), was a shrewd negotiator, and a true motivator in his very own unique way.  He threw his life into his business, and when I was there all four of the Sa Bell children were working in the company.  Shirley was an incredible supportive spouse.  
Wally, you were a one of a kind!  May God rest your soul.  
Sending Love, Hugs and Admiration

Wally SaBell! You can’t talk about him without talking about Shirley. See I’m in the belief that behind every successful man there is a successful women. I met Wally and Shirley over 60 years ago when I went to work for them on a Christmas tree lot next to my house then the following spring working for Shirley and Fred Shepard growing perennial flowers. 
 Wally and Shirley influenced me in so many ways, taught me the value of hard work, pride in your work, passion, love, and yes intensity. Wally was a very driven man, never giving up and very loyal to his family. I love him very deeply and will miss him greatly. 

With a sorrowful heart, I wish to express my condolences to all family and friends of Wallace  H Sa'Bell.   I first met Wally when I was a boy of 12. My father and Wally raced pigeons back in 1973. 5 years later I went to work for Wally, at his family owned nursery.  I worked for the family for many years. Wally was a great mentor to me, as well as a good friend. He taught me many things. He always told me to strive for excellence in all you do.  That  it shows others  what kind of person you are.  Wally in many ways  was like a father to me. He will always be remembered by me in my life. I'm very Blessed to have had him in my life. Sincerely Kirk

He was our oldest customer. We met when he was riding on the back of the fire truck in downtown Denver,back in the good ole days.. 
we bonded right away and it was 50 plus years of business together. 
Interesting and incredibly person, great family man and lovely wife.
Rest In Peace Wally.

Wally did so much for our great hobby the racing pigeon sport. Thank you Wally for all your work and dedication to the sport of Racing Pigeon and being a friend to me and my family. Rest In Peace Wally, tell Rick Hi for me up there in heaven see you again when I get there. 

Is one of the nicest person I've ever worked for If Wally spoke you need to listen He was always trying to educate people Just an all round guy with a big heart He will dearly be missed 

So many good memories of being with Wally, but most of all the time  Rick and I spent training the pigeons and attending all the races, lots of good times had.   Wally was someone you could always talk to about anything & everything, he always had time for you.  He will be missed dearly.   My thoughts and prayers go out to Shirley and the SaBell family.   Now you can give your son, Rick a big kiss and hug, one from me too!

Wally was one of the most sweet, loving and caring cousin I have! I remember you and my dad with pigeons and all the fun we had at your house. 

I will miss you and I love you!
