Abram worked as a cabinetmaker. After retirement, they moved to Clearbrook, B.C. Abram
always had great faith in his Lord and Saviour,

Bible. He took pleasure in sharing his faith with
family and friends, and loved to quote his favourite Bible verses. He cared for his family and
looked forward to gatherings, especially with his
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He enjoyed sipping mate tea with friends. Abram will
