Furniture trade and community loses a leader
2010-10-21
WELL-KNOWN businessman Nadie Abrahams died suddenly in his family home in Charleston Hill, Paarl East, on Saturday. Abrahams (55) initially worked as a salesman with Beares before he established Nadie Abrahams Furniture in Paarl East. He then moved new business premises in Paarl Main Street where he specialised in selling unique furniture and antiques. He was highly respected in the furniture business trade and it is a great loss, says family friend Prof Faadiel Essop. He lived in Dempers Street with his mother, Amina (85), whom he cared for. Abrahams was apparently in reasonably good health so the fatal heart attack came as a great shock. He played an active and important role in the community and welfare organisations and will be missed for his organisation of the annual Boland Summer Festival, held at the end of March. Abrahams is also survived by his son Thaamir, daughter Ilhaam and two grandchildren. The burial took place on Sunday, with several hundred mourners attending.
