Abraham wore many hats throughout his lifetime. He worked simultaneously as a milkman, a police officer for the town of Allenstown from 1978 to 1980, a member of the Allenstown Fire Department and an EMT. Abraham later became a sharpshooter at the Concord State Prison and also was a mental health worker at the New Hampshire Hospital. He had earned his associate degree in psychology and was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Society in 1993. But Abe enjoyed being hands-on and working with tools. So for his last 14 years, he performed custodial and maintenance duties for the Bow school system, which he enjoyed very much.
With the help of his family, he built his own house in Allenstown. He was an avid ham radio operator, photographer and computer buff. He enjoyed hunting and was known by many as a jack-of-all-trades. He even built an Elgin street sweeper from parts purchased at a yard sale, and re-sold it for a profit.
Survivors include his wife of almost 10 years, Barbara (Hanson) Blow of Allenstown; his daughter, Melissa Ann Blow of Pembroke; his stepson, Bradley John Barnes of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; his stepdaughter, Lisa Kathryn Barnes of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; two sisters, Evangeline Custis of Wakefield, Mass., and Linda Ann DiCicco and her husband, Jeff, of Concord; two sisters-in-law, Arlene Merling and Cheryl Hanson, both of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; one niece; and three nephews.
He was predeceased by his brother, Alfred Herbert Blow, in 1970.
