Heinz Karl Abel

Heinz (aka) grandpa moved to the U.S in 1949 when he was 21 years old. Grandpa worked as a farmers helper while earning his citizenship here in he U.S. After working as a farmer he eventually turned his career to upholstering here in California. He met his wife Tina in California where they raised 3 children; Mary Dennis, Elizabeth Mulhall, and Freddie Abel. Mary and Elizabeth blessed him with 7 grandchildren which led to 7 great grandchildren. Grandpa loved to gamble, fish, and eat lots of salt and sugar :). Grandpa lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed his kids and grandkids. Grandpa was also a loved member of the elks lodge since 1981. He was an important part of the Elks lodge and even became an Exalted ruler between 1991-1992. Heinz (aka) grandpa will be missed by all. We will never forget his great personality and his sense of humor. May he rest in peace.
