Obituary of George A. Abraham

Colonie - Surrounded by his loving family, George A. Abraham passed away peacefully on May 27, 2017 under the compassionate care of St. Peter’s Hospice. 

Born in 1922 (Age 94), George served as a proud member of the United States Army where he would ultimately retire as an employee of the United States Postal Service. 

George was a handyman by nature. In his spare time, he enjoyed painting, gardening and building arts and crafts around the house. He appreciated the outdoors and loved to walk, swim, sunbathe and exercise. George was fascinated by world events and was an avid fan of the nightly news, Unsolved Mysteries and the National Geographic channel. He also had a knack for learning and would always be seen reading a magazine, watching a documentary or experimenting with the unknown. George had a great sense of humor and will always be remembered for his quick wit and unexpected comebacks.   

George was the devoted husband to the late Angeline M. Abraham, father to the late Maria Abraham, brother to the late Sophie Moscinski and Catherine Brennan and son to the late Samuel and Mary Abraham. 

George is survived by his two sons, George Abraham (Betsy) and Vincent Abraham (Linda), and beloved daughter, Judy Abraham. Judy was a devoted daughter and will cherish the bond she shared with her parents until eternal time.  

George is also survived by his six grandchildren, Sarah O’Leary (Mike), Megan Abraham (Chris), Jessica Polito (Josh), Jeremy Candelaria (Dominique), Marie Abraham and Jeff Abraham (Raisa); three great grandchildren, Lucas Pettinelli, Samuel Polito and Jacob Polito; and several nieces and nephews. 

The Abraham family would like to extend a special thank you to the hospital staff at St. Peter’s hospital and the Hospice Inn. 

A Christian mass will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, June 5, 2017 at Historic St. Mary's Church, 10 Lodge Street., Albany, NY 12207.
