Martin Abrams Obituary

Abrams, Martin W. "Marty" 85, of Lincoln Park passed away peacefully Monday April 12 with his loving wife, Manya, at his side. Marty was a beloved son, husband, uncle, great uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Marty was born in 1925 to Rae Sodikoff Kraut. He was born and raised in Chicago. He lived his adult life in New York and Chicago. Marty spent decades in the men's clothing industry as both a manufacturer and manufacturer's rep. He served in the Army Air Force. Marty and the love of his life, Manya Wolin Abrams, were married in 1986. Marty was a long time member of the East Bank Club, and will be sorely missed by his Saturday lunch group at Gene and Georgetti's. Interment will be at Machpelah Cemetery in Flint, Michigan Wednesday, April 14. Officiating will be his nephew, Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner of Temple Emanu-El in Closter, New Jersey. There will be a memorial service at a later date in Chicago. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the National Parkinson's Foundation (www.parkinson.org).
