Abraham was a painter for the Ford Motor Company for many years retiring in 1989. He was a member of the United Auto Workers Local #980.

Abraham was known to many as the "candy man" as he walked through town giving out his little candy bags to everyone. He also enjoyed feeding the birds, cooking for his friends & family, playing the pick-it, watching the Mets and Yankees and playing Dominoes and BINGO with his friends and wife.
Abraham was described as the neighborhood Pop-Pops, who raised all the neighborhood children. He was a nurturing and loving man, who helped all, especially his grandchildren who, up to his dying day, would be given $20 and told this money was for food, gas and ice cream or to buy a toy for his great grandchildren.
Predeceased by his parents, first wife Juanita Lopez Figueroa, brothers, sisters and his daughter, Marisol, sons Jimmy, Nardy, & Bori.
