Reb Avrohom Fried, a resident of Kew Gardens Hills and Boro Park, passed away on 3 Teves, Zos Chanukah 5784.
He was 92.
He was the brother of Mrs. Sheila Simon, the wife of R’ Mottel Simon a”h of Asbury Park NJ/Crown Heights.
R’ Avrohom was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan 92 years ago, at a time when it was not taken for granted that children would remain on a path of Yiddishkeit. Avrohom did, though, and was known throughout his life to live a life of strict adherence to Halacha.
For a certain period in his life he lived in Crown Heights, and being a CPA helped Mosdos with their accounting, specifically CSSY and Keren Yisroel Aryeh Leib Gemach. This Chesed continued even after he moved to Queens.
The niftar and his wife, who passed away one year ago, did not merit children. Nevertheless, they reveled in the lives of many nieces and nephews and their entire family which loved him very much. “We were their children,” says a niece, and they were a beloved part of our lives.”
Since he did not leave behind any children, the family asks those who can to learn a Mishnah or give tzeddaka l’iluy nishmas Avraham Abba ben Shlomo Yehuda.
