ABRAHAM ANTHONY R., was born February 25, 1911 in Youngstown, Ohio. He attended Lincoln High School in Cleveland and graduated from The University of Detroit. Growing up in less than modest means, Abraham made a vow as a young boy that if by the grace of God I ever could, I would feed the poor...

Not sure what to say?

I never met Anthony, but I knew his son George. I was a runaway, and had hitchhiked to Miami with my dog in 1984. George took pity on me as he was gassing up his car at a Miami gas station. I had slept,or tried to sleep behind the store the night before. I was scared, and feeling hopeless. George took me in and I stayed at his house for a couple months. He was very kind to me. I never forgot him. In case you're reading this George, sir,I just want to say Thank you. You may not remember me,...

I was blessed to be able to be there, so many years ago, at the service to celebrate his long and distinguished life. There will never be another man like Anthony Abraham for he set the example for others to follow in so many respects. When he left this earth a huge void remained, a void so great that it simply cannot be filled. I know that he would be proud that his children are doing their best to follow in his footsteps in trying to make this world a better place for children and for the...

Only learned about Anthony's amazing life recently. Living in Miami and being able to feel all the good the Abraham Family has done, I felt I should drop a message of remembrance and respect to the ones who started it all. The Abrahams continue to inspire their community.

Great Man God Bless Him and His Family.

Mr. Abraham gave my dad his first and only job when we moved to Tampa, Florida. I will always remember him as a very kind, loving, caring and wonderful man.

I met Mr. Abraham in the early 90's although I remember as a child, my mom taking us by his house to see the beautiful Christmas decorations in his yard. I had (naively) committed to putting on a match party for children in foster care that were free for adoption so that they could possibly find permanent homes. This party would be for a few hundred people and I had never done this before but I had a big heart. I THOUGHT I could just ask for money and because it was for a good cause...

He was absoluely my hero and that of my children. I received no child support and he helped me numerous times by giving my son a job while trying to go to vet school and authorizing my over time and opportunities for advancement. I don't think there ever was a greater man on this earth. I dearly loved him. Mary Ann Gilley Franklin NC

He was my Godfather. He was my male role-model growing up. He taught me respect for others and for myself. Clem always made time for my Mother and I. He taught me how to behave in public and in private, but most importantly, he taught me how to behave when nobody was looking. Mr. A. was a vital part to my living in the United States and not in England. Had he not done this for me and my Mother, I would not have met my wonderful wife and I wouldn't be blessed with my three beautiful...
