Abe grew up in Clifton, NJ and attended Farleigh Dickinson University and Syracuse University. He started working for IBM in Endicott, NY in 1964. In 1979, IBM transferred him to Charlotte where he retired with honors in 1991. Abe then started a cryptography business which he enjoyed until Alzheimer's slowed him down in 2017. He possessed a brilliant mind and a wicked wit. He had many interests that spanned from Amateur Radio, restoration of his beloved 1965 GTO, music, horticulture, traveling, and obtaining his pilot’s license. He was also a member of St. James the Greater Catholic Church.

Survivors include his loving wife of 57 years, Gail W.
