Abe loved to take things apart and put them back together so he could see how they functioned. This served him well in his life-long career as a mechanic and fixer of everything. He worked at the Glenlea Service Station as a mechanic for 34 years. Abe could fix the biggest combine or the smallest wrist watch.
Abe also enjoyed spending time with his family, playing and watching sports, maintaining his immaculate yard, woodworking, doing crossword puzzles and combing his beautiful hair.
We remember Abe as a quiet and gentle man with quick wit. He was a man of faith and a great example to his family. We will miss him dearly.
