Richard "Rich" Abrams
September 30, 2018

Abrams, Richard "Rich" passed on Sunday, September 30, 2018. He was a man with a Heart after God’s Heart. Beloved husband and best friend of Marilyn Abrams.

Step-grandfather of Kayla, Taylor and Michael Noszka. Uncle of Lee (Jennifer) Abrams. Also survived by many extended family. With a gentle soul, twinkle in his eye, and mischievous smile Rich captured the hearts of all he met. Saturdays at the Synogue, regular workouts at the JCC, dancing feet, joyriding bikes, and long walks with the dogs rounded out his time. A man of few words, but the heart of a mensch he was our quiet hero. He lived his life to the fullest, setting an example of what we can aspire to be.

Condolences

Deepest sympathy to the family regarding the loss of Rick. May the God of comfort (Jehovah) comfort your family during this time of mourning.

Condolences from Richard’s cousin, Gene. We go back a very long way - we’re about the same age, he will be remembered and missed. Unfortunately I won’t be able to be in Pittsburgh for the services. My deepest sympathies to everyone.

Well will all miss Rich and his kind heart and caring personality. I am very sad that I cannot make the trip to Pittsburgh but you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May all the special memories of Rich help comfort us through this difficult time. “What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller Cousin Debra

Rich was a wonderful person, who made everyone in the room feel welcome and warm. My sympathy to all if you.
