RICHARD ABRAMS Obituary
Passed on Sunday, September 30, 2018. He was a man with a Heart after God's Heart. Beloved husband and best friend of Marilyn Abrams; cherished father of Heather, Lester and Benjamin Abrams; stepfather of Michael (Kellie), Bryony, Patrick and Katy Noszka; beloved brother of Fred (Cheryl) Abrams; step-grandfather of Kayla, Taylor and Michael Noszka; uncle of Lee (Jennifer) Abrams; also survived by many extended family. With a gentle soul, twinkle in his eye, and mischievous smile Rich captured the hearts of all he met. Saturdays at the Synogue, regular workouts at the JCC, dancing feet, joyriding bikes, and long walks with the dogs rounded out his time. A man of few words, but the heart of a mensch he was our quiet hero. He lived his life to the fullest, setting an example of what we can aspire to be. Services at RALPH SCHUGAR CHAPEL, INC., 5509 Centre Avenue, Shadyside on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Visitation one hour prior to services (1 - 2 p.m.). Interment Beth Shalom Cemetery. For research purposes, contributions may be made to Alzheimer's Association of Greater Pittsburgh Chapter, 1100 Liberty Avenue, Suite #E-201, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. www.schugar.com

I am so so shocked and sorry. Rich was the kindest sweet man and everything said here is so true. I am so sorry I didn't know and never got to say good bye. My heart goes out to you MARILYN and to the whole family.
