Son of Aharon and Shoshana. Was born on April 4, 1954 in Be’er Sheva, to a well-to-do family. He graduated from the Tze’elim School in the city. Afterward, he studied at the ORT vocational school for two years, and his specialty is frameworks. Continued and worked in this profession first in the air industry and later in the “Chromium compounds” in Be’er Sheva. Before he enlisted, he learned to practice, at the suggestion of the army. Avi is remembered for his family as a mischievous child, full of energy and temperament, and with this kindness he feels his need to help others. A laugh was always on his face. These qualities are the hearts of many friends. When Avi was drafted into the IDF, he was immediately placed as a driver of the armored corps and underwent training courses in truck driving, and soon attracted the attention of his commanders, who emphasized his qualities and positive character. Not only in driving but also in the dedicated and thorough handling of the vehicle he was in charge of, and by special arrangements, to make the home feel comfortable and comfortable. During the Yom Kippur War, he spent in Sinai. In the army, too, he knew, with his smile and his cheerfulness, to be fond of many friends – soldiers and commanders alike. On one of the trips, which was long, he gave the wheel to his friend, and then a fatal disaster happened. My father fell in the line of duty – on October 24, 1974, at the age of 20. He was brought to eternal rest in the military cemetery in Be’er Sheva and left behind his parents, four brothers and two sisters. His commander wrote: “Abraham was always in a cheerful and exalted mood, even though the work was difficult and numerous, and even when there were many personal problems, he always knew how to get out of these situations with a smile on his face. The loss of your precious son Avraham, but you must be proud of this son who was a soldier, a friend and a model friend, a friend whom everyone loved and sought his closeness. ” The family donated a Torah scroll in his memory.
