Because "Abe" realized that education was the key to a better life, he enrolled in some college courses at Florence- Darlington Technical College. He Became certified as a truck part specialist. He was employed at Stone Truck Center for thirty plus years where he was known as "The Man In Charge". He worked hard to provide for his family. He was family oriented and wanted his family to enjoy the finer things of life.
