Abe was born on March 10, 1936, and he immigrated to Canada from Paraguay in his early years. He settled in Greendale where he learned the art of farming. He married Erika (nee Fast) and together they worked hard on their dairy farm and raised four beautiful children before retiring to Majuba Hill in Yarrow.
