The phrase "To know him was to love him" really did apply to Andrew Abrams. "Andy" to many of you, "Mr. A" to countless others, to Eric and I, he was simply "dad."
He had a rich family life, married to Cathy Abrams for over fifty years with whom he raised his sons Eric and Rob in Maplewood, N.J.
From his decades at Ryan Beck/ Stifel, Andy enjoyed a large work family that remained in constant touch with us until his final day. Anybody who played basketball at Farrell Field during a certain era would have definitely had the fustrating experience of posting up against "Mr. A."
Lifelong friend Sean Kelly said that Andy had a a way of showing respect to everyone; He would make younger more intimidated players feel welcome on the court, and treated everyone at work with grace and dignity. "He really taught me how to be a man and respect people," he said.
Andy will be interred at Beth Israel cemetery in Woodbridge on Friday. Covid restrictions will make this a limited affair.
In lieu of flowers, donations to either St. Jude (www.stjude.org) or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan.org) would be most welcome. Andy is survived by his sons Eric and Rob, his daughter Bryn, his daughter-in-law Nicole, and his brother Jeff.
