Abraham Mishkin Obituary

I had the pleasure of working w Mr Mishkin for almost 30 years. He was one of the most optimistic, upbeat, kind, smart folks I’ve ever known, with such amazing stories of his life experiences. My prayers will remain with the Mishkin family as we will all miss Abraham very much.

I will never forget my encounters with Abe at the gym. He was there every morning with his walker and never failed to correct my form when I was off. He was so funny and sweet.

When I was young 'and going down the wrong path' Dr. Abraham came to me to share his understanding of my situation: he gave me guidance and support and stayed in contact me when he and his family relocated. Dr. provided me with the parental help I desperately needed. Since forth I attended college(s) and have spent my adult career in health care research.
I owe Dr. Abraham such a debt of gratitude and I am saddened by his loss.
Condolences to Renee', Sandra, Marvin and especially Marty.

I worked for Doc Mishkin at Westreco Inc. in Marysville, Ohio. He was a great boss and I have many fond memories of the times he spent with us at work and up to Lake Erie in the summer!
I’m sure he will be really missed by his family and those that knew him.

I worked with Abe when we were both with Nestle in Marysville, Ohio and later on when he was in White Plains and I was in Fulton, NY., both still with Nestle. He was such an intelligent man, with wide-ranging interests and extreme creativity. He was a joy with whom to talk and to explore different ideas. He set a great example for me, and was an inspiration to me in my career. In Marysville I was a first-time Plant Manager at age 28, just feeling my way into serious responsibilities, and as the head of the Nestle"s Research and Development Division, also located in Marysville contiguous to the factory, he was a counselor and mentor to me. When I reported to him in his later role in Nestle Headquarters in New York, he was a friend enough to tell me when my ambitions and further growth were organizationally blocked at the plant level at Fulton, triggering me to seek headquarters and multi-plant responsibilities elsewhere. That lead ultimately to my being offered the Vice-Presidency at Tootsie Roll Industries three years later. I owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude to him for the influence he was in my life. He was a great man, and a treasured friend.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. My father worked with yours for many years and I recall good memories with Sandra (my age) prior to your family moving to NY and being sad when you all moved. My parents and my husband and I dined in Virginia at Renee´s farm/restautrant in the early 1980´s, where Abe, to all of our surprise, was there. Good memories.

Prayers to all of you on the passing of your father- this is nor Ever an easy thing.

Marcia Symbolik Burkett . Class reunions have included stories of you! (Not bad- we were only in jr high!)

P.S. Sandra- would love to catch up with you! [email protected]
