My family and I resided next door to #14 Engine---the Fire Station located on Blue Hills Ave in Hartford, CT.
We got to know Mr. Abrams from 1970 to 1974. He was always smiling, polite and a pleasant human being. Those years were my High School years in New Britian snd I jad to leave Hartford early in the morning; sometimes the engine would be aariving and other times they would be leaving to respond to a fire. After graduating from HS, my family moved and I went on to college. We are sorry for your loss, please accept our condolences. Mr. Abrams was a great person, he was always encouraging me to aim high. He is asleep and resting. God be with you family.
