Remembering a Dear Friend and Remarkable Man | |
|
We are sad to report that David L.Abell, a very dear
friend to CARES, passed on February 11, 2006.
Founder of David L. Abell Fine Pianos, Mr. Abell showed his tremendous commitment to the jazz community through the establishment of several educational programs and scholarships in the LosAngeles area. He was honored in 2005 by the Friends of Jazz at UCLA with their Humanitarian Award as well as by the NAACP with its Community Service Award. Since the beginning of his involvement with CARES, Mr. Abell was a very generous supporter of the organization and instrumental in the success of CARES’ first major fundraiser, the EVERY1CARES luncheon. At the request of his family, those paying tribute to David were asked to continue his legacy with donations to CARES, and the David L. Abell Memorial Fund for Research was established. We continue to be touched by the amazing generosity of David’s friends and family. Our thoughts continue to be with the Abell family as they look forward and celebrate the life of a truly remarkable man. |
