Abram was born close to Cuauhtemoc Chihuahua, where he met his bride Sara, marrying her March 12, 1961, and supporting his growing family working at Estrella Blanca. In 1989, he, along with his family, immigrated to Canada, eventually settling in Cambridge Ontario. He continued to utilize his skills as a welder for Guelph based Precision Industries. In his later years, his greatest joy was his grandkids, he adored and was immensely proud of each one.
His last days he could often be found seeking comfort in prayer. He loved his Lord and Savior and we rejoice that he is in His presence now.
