Adam Ezzeldin (Zezo) Abbas, 65, passed away on March 1, 2018 surrounded by family. Adam was born in El-Arish, Egypt with a burst of energy, determination, and passion.
From the start, his story is one of adventure. He began his business career at age 5, selling toy marbles and hosting paid marble games for the entire neighborhood. After establishing much admiration in his birthplace, he sought greater opportunity and moved to England, alone, at the age of 16. There, he established himself as an international consultant. On a business trip to Houston, he found his true calling and home: The United States of America. He started from scratch and opened Adam's Deli in Houston. Later he settled in Salem, NH and opened a successful video store, Video Attraction in Marblehead, MA. His love for children and family inspired him to open Funhouse Pizza in Salem, NH which was operated successfully for over a decade as a staple of family entertainment in town. A major pinnacle of success was purchasing a premier commercial shopping center where Funhouse Pizza was once a tenant. It presently includes several nationally recognized companies. His most recent and current business project is Zezo's Dollar, a large retail dollar store that he started with his son, while he courageously battled health issues.
His larger than life persona and sense of humor captivated his friends and family. His fortitude, strength, and motivation, always surging, was truly inspirational to his family and friends. He always remained humble and had deep faith. Those around him viewed him as "The American Dream." Despite his business achievements, it was his kindness, compassion, acts of charity, and unconditional love that enabled him to achieve his crowning pinnacle of success: The complete capture of the hearts of his entire family.
