Anthony Richard Abraham

Viera, FL Anthony Richard Abraham, 78, of Viera, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2021 at the Wuesthoff Hospice House. Tony was born on February 21, 1943 to Esther Fanelli Abraham and David Abraham in Utica, NY. After graduating from Rancocas Valley High School in 1962, he took some college courses and enlisted in the Army. Then he went on to become a salesperson extraordinaire, working for various businesses, but ultimately becoming a top car salesman and trainer in Melbourne, FL. Tony’s number one pastime was golf, but he also enjoyed fishing, relaxing in the pool, playing cards, feeding treats to his dogs Kia and Tyler, and traveling to Italy. Only after retirement did he discover a talent which perfectly suited his personality—karaoke performer. Singing Neil Diamond’s “Play Me” to his wife, Linda, was always first on his playlist. Tony was predeceased by his parents, Esther and David Abraham, and his brother, Sam. He deeply loved his family and is survived by his wife, Linda; brothers David (Johanne), Roger (Linda); sisters Lucy Service and Karen (William) Grimmer; sons, Anthony Michael (Jennifer) and Christopher (Jennifer) Wallace; granddaughters, Jaide (Alex) Fisher, Jenna (Adam) Dean, Alyssa, Teagan, Kate (Ben) Burton, Macey, and Lydia; and his great-grandchildren, Liam, Emmett, Esme, Charlee Kate, and Hudson. A private Celebration of Life will be held on June 21 from 2 to 4 p.m. in Suntree, FL. And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain. My friends I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case of which I’m certain. I’ve lived a life that’s full, I’ve traveled each and every highway, and more, much more than this, I did it my way.
