So sorry to hear of Abe’s passing.I met Abe back in the mid 90’s as he did some carpentry work for me.He was like a true friend,honest and always gave great advice plus my dog sure did take a liking to him as well.RIP Abe
Sorry to hear of Abes passing. I met him first at the Salvation Army Camp many years ago and he was always smiling and asking everyone that he met if they were ok and if they were enjoying the camp. He was one of our kitchen staff for the Men’s Fellowship Breakfast and he enjoyed chatting to all of those in attendance. He was a good and gentle man and may God rest his soul.
