In Loving Memory

Heaven received another angel wearing a barbed wire halo on Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Dan C. “Gram-pa” Abrams of Frost was born April 16, 1922, in Iuka, KS, to Harry and Mary Frances (Williams) Abrams.

Funeral services will be 11 a.m. on Friday, March 23, 2012, at Wade Funeral Chapel in Hubbard with Pastor Lou Gil officiating. Interment will follow at 3 p.m. in Killeen at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery.

Dan was a World War II veteran, serving in the U.S. Marine Corps. He loved to tell stories and could always be found surrounded by listeners enthralled by tales of his travels. Upon retirement from years of working in the oil patch and equipment auctioneering, Dan could be found working outside with his cattle or planting a garden. He was a hard worker, never slowing down for anything. He was a thoughtful and considerate man, taking care of everyone and anyone that needed his help.
