Abe was a wonderful man. I remember riding with him in his Porsche in the San Joaquin valley, in the newly opened freeway, going at least 125 miles per hour, the engine purring. This guy loved and lived life to the fullest.

Abe and I worked on a few projects together at Omaha Public Library and he was a delight to work with! I was stunned to hear of his passing. He and Rivkah together were a perfect couple. My heartfelt condolences to you Rivkah and the rest of your family for your loss.

Dear Rivkah and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Abe's passing. We wish you peace and healing as you grieve for Abe and savor his memory. Sincerely, Chuck Adelman & Anna Joy

So glad I got to meet Abe, through my work with the Friends of the Library. Even more glad I went to hear him recite from his book, "We Are All in This Together" at Time Tested Books in November. His life was rich with vibrant memories, and he could pass those experiences and feelings onto you, as you heard him speak. Very powerful. My condolences to the family.

My heart goes out to you in your loss.

Abe I will always remember our talks at the library your big smile and your great hugs! You gave me great memories I will miss you truly!!!

Abe is a vital force in my positive outlook on life and my ongoing love of the quintessential New Yorker with the CA soul. His light continues in our hearts and memories. What a force! Love you sister Rivkah!
