Greg was born on February 12, 1957 in Florence, Alabama as the first son of Bill Abramson. He earned an associate's degree in construction management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1977.
Following graduation, Greg began working alongside his grandfather, father, uncle, and brother in the highway construction business. Greg's career spanned the next 43 years, where he built strong partnerships in the road building community and cultivated one of the southeast's leading highway construction companies, Abramson, LLC. He was instrumental in bringing slip form technology for constructing concrete curb, gutter, and barriers to Alabama. He and his company were integral parts of road-way projects in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia, while also constructing projects for automobile manufacturers, railroads, seaports, and airports.
Greg was committed to the promotion of the road building industry in Alabama. He was president of the Alabama Road Builders Association in 2008 and was currently serving on the ARBA board of directors. He served on multiple ARBA committees throughout the years and participated in legislative efforts resulting in highway revenue increases. He was highly respected by coworkers, colleagues, and even competitors for these efforts.
Greg was admired by many for his work ethic, humility, loyalty, generosity, and kindness; however, he will be most remembered for the way in which he built relationships with others. Intensely loyal and dedicated, Greg was known for his strong friendships and the way he loved those around him. He was deeply respected by others for always bringing a sense of fairness to any situation.
Greg was calm, pragmatic, and steady, but also incredibly friendly, warm-hearted and humorous. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
Greg is preceded in death by his father, William Thomas Abramson, and brother, William Alan Abramson. He is survived by his mother; wife; daughter; stepdaughter; and 4 grandchildren.
A visitation was held on Wednesday, July 22, 2020 at Ridout's Southern Heritage Funeral Home in Pelham, Alabama. Following the visitation, a private memorial service for family was held in the chapel at The Church of the Highlands where Greg was a member.
A graveside service for immediate family was held the following day at Wesley Chapel United Methodist Cemetery in Florence, Alabama.
