L.W. Abel

Oh how could anyone ever forget LW. He was so intelligent, and had so many interests and talent. And what a great sense of humor. His antics sure gave us a lot of laughs in the office of SS Disability. And he had a huge heart. I am certain that he will always be thought of with a big smile and never forgotten.

I just yesterday learned that L.W. had passed. I found this out through one of his secretaries who worked for him in Pa. For Social Security. I also worked there when L.W. was an adjudicator. He was such a smart man and sure did make us all laugh. He did the craziest things but he was so well liked by many. He had a huge heart and had great parties welcoming everyone into his home in Hershey. I was sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies (all these years later) to his partner, Shelley and...

I worked with you for only a few years, but you became my dear friend, leaving lasting memories as a kind, gentle soul. Even though we lost touch, I have thought of you over the many years, hoping you found joy in your life. And you did. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. My deepest sympathy to Shelley and Beth. May LW's spirit always be with you.

Bless your soul Charlie Brown. For all our childhood secrets and memories and walks along the beach. I thank you. Looking around today for a sign

I've been looking for LW and Beth for over a decade. My dear friend, I wish I'd known you had passed. Forever in my heart and childhood memories. I will go to Ocean city this summer, sit on the beach at 34th and wait for you to come through the fog.
Bless all who knew and loved you. Shelley. You must be wonderful to be his partner and if Beth ever reads this tell her god bless

Sorry for your loss and may God's peace and mercy sustain everyone through this time of grief from Jeremiah 29:11.

Sad to have another ham pass into the Ionosphere. Hope your able to make some great contacts in heaven - on all bands !
You were a very nice asset to the local 96 group.

I grew up with LW in Hershey, we were neighbors. He and Beth were my friends and playmates. We have not had contact since high school when we went our separate ways forever. I moved to Chicago 2 yrs after high school and lived there 20 yrs and then in 1991, my then husband and I moved to Seattle. Semi-Retirement gives you more free time to ruminate and in the past year I've often wondered what happened to my old friends. I tried an online search last year but didn't come up with anything, ...

Although I never met LW in person, I enjoyed his on air persona immensely. His sense of humour was a constant delight. I will miss him greatly. I am so sorry for your loss Shelly. He lives on, but the loss of his personal presence is devastating.

I wish I had known him better.
