To the theatre community:
 
It was a great pleasure to meet such a talented actor, producer and singer.  To those who knew him, I know that there are numerous accounts and memories you can share about this wonderful man, CHUCK ABRAHAM.  He is a true and generous person to his family and friends.  Chuck is a mentor to a lot of people who works with him now and those who had the opportunity to do wonderful shows with him in the past.  Surely, he is my mentor too.  He will be missed.  Now, the theatre community has this big void without his creativity and patience.  There is no doubt however that he is looking upon us saying, "The show must go on" .  My wife June-Marie and I extends our condolences to his family and friends.  Monica, please do not hesitate to give me a call at anytime you need a friend or a shoulder to lean onto.  Our prayers are with you.

My dear friends….

 

Today is a most difficult day, the day after Chuck Abraham’s sudden passing.  Chuck was such a wonderful man, and touched us all so dearly.  He was not only a talented producer, director, actor and singer, but was also a well-rounded Christian man who was ALWAYS smiling, and always “half full”….

 

I am utterly speechless at his loss, having been his best friend for several years now.  He was my neighbor up the street, my goom-ba, and my brother.  I can not even begin to tell you how many times we have laughed so hard at things that it brought us to tears.  Unfortunately today the tears are brought on for different reasons.

 

There were two kinds of people in Chuck’s life – those who adored him, and those who didn’t understand him.  Chuck was always confident, and could talk his way our of a paper bag if he had to.  He truly had the gift of gab which is likely why he had such a passion for the theatre.  What words Chuck lacked in vocabulary, he made up.  And the funniest thing is, unless you knew him well, you probably wouldn’t know that he was talking himself out of a corner.

 

The memories are thick and full, and the future will be most difficult for those in his life.  He was en excellent family man, never late for dinner, and always knew how to keep cool.  He was a rock, very stable and unwaivering in his views.

 

Chuck did not have health coverage since he and his sister’s satellite computer support business became victim to today’s economy and corporate politics.  A support account will be set up at a local bank for any charitable assistance for his wife and two young children, please be advised as updates will be posted in this medium.

 

Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized, and information is to follow.  

 

God speed, Shusshy-Lou, see you soon.

 

Love,

 

Rick McGuigan

Friend, Brother, and Mentor
