Bernard Abrams Obituary
February 14, 1920 - November 28, 2010
Bernie Abrams passed away peacefully at home at age 90. Son of immigrants, he was a self-made man who became a prominent businessman and philanthropist, after serving in the Army Air Corps in WW II.
Bernie is survived by his wife Jane (Wiesen) with whom he shared 65 years of marriage, love, and devotion. Also his five children: Donald Abrams of Balboa Island,CA; Jodi Seaver of Dublin, NH; Betsy Abrams of Boston, MA; Wendy Bassell of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA; and Diane Abrams of Boston, MA - and their spouses. He was the proud grandfather of ten grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held at Pacific View Park in Corona Del Mar, CA at 10am on Friday December 3. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Bernie's honor to Helping Hands Foundation (helpinghandsgroup.org) or to a charitable cause of ones' choosing.

I'm sorry that I'm writing this so late. I only just read about Bernie's passing. My dad worked for Bernie from 1948 until his reitrement. He was Saul Alexander and was the manager of Economy Fabrics on Park Street in Hartford. After about 20 years on Park Street Bernie transferred dad to the executive offices. I remember Ruth Diamond who took dad under her wings in the early years and always cared about us. Bernie was more than a boss to my dad. We always felt that he truly cared for my dad in more than employer-employee way. I remember taking my mom's holiday cookies to you guys up on Ferncliff Drive and you kids were all so surprised to get such a loving and caring package. May Bernie rest in peace!
