"Abe" to his classmates, died peacefully at home in New York City on Jan. 17, 2016 following a long and brave battle with Multiple Myeloma.
Abe entered the Academy in the summer of 1963, became a member of the Class of 1968 the following summer, and never looked back. As a cadet, we associate Abe with his exceptional athletic performance as a swimmer and water polo player. He broke the Air Force record in four events and was the first cadet to represent the U.S. in an international competition at the World Maccabi Games in Israel in 1965.
While competing in Israel, Abe met a gold medal-winning sprinter from South Africa, met the one who became the love of his life.
Abe served four years in the Air Force as a procurement officer at Hanscom AFB, Mass. In 1972, he began his civilian business career as an associate in corporate finance at CBWL-Hayden Stone. From there he went on to the Funds Evaluation Group at AG Becker, Paribus, Inc., and then built a firm in 1975 called NSR Asset Management. Abe was senior vice president and senior managing director at Alliance Bernstein for the last 37 years.
