Dear friends,
It is with heavy hearts that we let you know that our Dad, Abraham Spivak, passed away Thursday, January 9th, after a short hospitalization. We are grateful that Lisa, Katharine, Joe, and I were with him when he peacefully passed, and that Brendan graciously cared for their young kids so that Lisa could be present.
When plans are made for a gathering in his honor, we will let you all know. If you feel so moved, you can leave a remembrance of Abraham using the comments feature at the bottom of this post.
Love,
Roanna, Katharine, Lisa, Joe and Brendan

Whenever he saw me, Abraham would proclaim “Hosanna!” With a big smile. He said he loved that name. “Hosanna”!
That even made me understand the power in a (my) name. It happens to be a word that needs to be said nowadays. It is a significant word . It actually means ‘save’.
Thank you, Brother Abraham, for the sweetness you brought to the life of our group.
I remember Abraham is always sunny, and full of smiles!
Have a wonderful “Other side” Abraham!
