Abe Farkas, age 56 passed away suddenly in Chester, Pa.
Einstein once said "only a life lived for others is worth living." Pictures of his Chester "route kids" peppered the inside of his grocery store on wheels, Abe's Food Express. Any improvements in their grades guaranteed a treat. Perhaps this was because as a 16 year old emigrant from Czechoslovakia, he knew what it was like to struggle. He'd overcome the language barrier and make his way to Wharton. After High School, he'd serve 2 tours in the U. S. Navy off the coast of Vietnam and then give years to the Peace Corps in Chile, where he and his wife became the first couple to have a baby. This made son, Joshua, the youngest ever Peace Corps volunteer. A year later when they left Chile to travel South America they did so with 2 children: Joshua and Rheena. It's no wonder that his children carry on the humanitarian spirit. Abe engaged in a bevy of careers, ranging from police officer to owner of several 7-11s. Throughout his life he made caring for those less fortunate job one. A stray dog could do no better than cros his path. He nursed more than his fair share back to health.: 6 in a single week one time.
A young Irish rose named Maureen saw Abe entertaining a crowd by tight rope walking a clothes line at a party. They'd marry and drink from the same glass(often literally) for 36 years. They had the privilege of raising their 4 children, Joshua, Rheena, Nate and Lori. He was also fortunate enough to have a daughter-in-law, Holly, and to see their 3 month old baby, Lincoln. He is also survived by his mother, Frida, his other mother(in-law), Nancy Beail-Hannah; his older sister, Helen, younger sister, Deborah, and baby brother, Alex.
Come in your everyday clothes and remember Abe with us Wednesday 6-8 p. m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, 1518 Kings Hwy., Swedesboro, NJ.
Donation in lieu of flowers to Brandywine Peace Community, P. o. Box 81, Swarthmore, Pa. 19081 will be appreciated.
