Charles better known as Chuck Lee Abrahams – November 18, 1934 – July 18, 2021
Chuck L. Abrahams was born to Curtis and Anna (Dalke) Abrahams on November 18, 1934 welcomed by his older siblings: Verna, Norman and Raymond. Chuck graduated from Hillsboro High School. Chuck enlisted in the Army Reserves on August 17, 1957 as a Private. He was honorably discharged from the Army of the United States on April 15, 1963 as a Corporal.
Chuck married Genevieve (Genny) Winter on December 2, 1960 in the Hillsboro Mennonite Brethren Church. Chuck and Genny's 1st home was a trailer house in Hillsboro. In 1963 their son Brad was born. 5 years later Brad welcomed his sister Marci to the family. After living in several different houses they settled into a home on Lincoln street where they lived for nearly 45 years before residing at Bethesda Home in Goessel.
Chuck worked a variety of jobs including a milk route; parts manager at Irv Schroeder Motors; and as a salesman for Bowman. The majority of Chuck's adult career was spent delivering mail for the US Postal Service. Regardless of the weather, Chuck would walk a 12 mile route, 5 days a week without a complaint. He enjoyed walking his route, dressed as Santa Claus every December 24. Chuck ended his career working at Circle D into his late 70s.
His hobbies included camping, fishing, hunting and old cars. Chuck would do anything for anyone but his #1 passion was his grandkids – Brady, Derek, Brandi & Maci. He loved supporting them at their events. Chuck also enjoyed his woodworking shop. Some of the items he made included: Banks out of PO Boxes; Sequence Games; Infant cradles, Rocking Horses, Time out Benches; and Grandfather clocks.
Homemade ice cream on Sundays was a given. Chuck also loved to grill. At Bethesda, Chuck could be found at his computer playing Solitare (which he called Solitary), snacking on M and Ms.
Chuck passed away peacefully on July 18, 2021 at Bethesda Home in Goessel. Chuck is survived by his brother-in-law, Vernon Winter, and wife Janice, his son, Brad, and wife Rose, daughter Marci Heidebrecht, and husband Ron, and 6 grandchildren: Bret Nichols (Brogan); Kaci Nichols, Brady Abrahams (Audrey), Derek Kelsey, Brandi Abrahams (Caio), Maci Welker (Ryan) and 4 great grandchildren: Lane Phillips, Tatum Nichols, Grace Welker and Peyton Abrahams.
Chuck definitely knew his Lord personally and showed God's love by caring, giving and through his gentle, kind heart. He was one patient soul, and he's real fine, let's put it that way!
