Joseph Abrahams

It is with deep sorrow and much love we mourn the passing of Joseph P Abrahams Jr., 87, Friday February 26, 2021 at Somerford Place of Frederick.

Joe was born in Washington D.C to the late Joseph Sr. and Pauline Abrahams.

He graduated Damascus High School in 1952, joined the U.S Navy in 1953 aboard the USS Yellowstone and established the Silver Spring Exxon station at 8301 Fenton Street from 1958 until his retirement in 1978.

Joe was an avid fisherman in Hague, Va. and took pride in cooking his father's famous fried chicken at the Damascus Fire Department, Tom & Ray's restaurant and at John Deere events. His passion was crabbing, hunting and cooking with friends and family. Joe will be forever remembered for instilling his strong work ethic yet jovial side to life.

Joe was preceded in death by spouse Florence Abrahams; children Luke Abrahams and Connie P. Abrahams; and sister Betty (Abrahams) Crumpton .

Left to cherish his memory are his siblings Henry Abrahams, Barbara (Abrahams) Watkins and Louis Abrahams; daughter Linda G. Abrahams; grandchildren Christie (Pavlock) Galster, Seth Abrahams, Sarah (Abrahams) Durden and Josh Abrahams; 8 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Joe's life will be held 10:30am, March 20, 2021 at Mount Olivet Mausoleum , 515 S Market St, Frederick ,MD.
