Everyone who has a Johnny as an uncle is blessed. Johnny Uncle was a wonderful encouragement to me and our family and to those around him. He always approached with music and talk about the Lord. He is meeting my father and exploring heaven overjoyed to meet again, fellowshipping with all the ancestors and friends and each other and Jesus! Uncle told me without knowing which day Daddy went to be with the Lord that Daddy came to Uncle (this would be a few days after Dad left the earth) giving words of comfort to Johnny Uncle who was deeply concerned about Dad. Uncle called the moment surreal. He answered all my bombardment of questions including what was Daddy wearing, what color were his pants, did he have shoes and what color were the clothes? I asked how did Dad wave goodbye to you and what exactly did Dad say and concluded, yes, it was my father. I had a kindred spirit in Uncle having an organ degree and interest in choirs and music. There was always a moment where he asked me or my sisters to play and he couldn't go through pieces I cherished fast enough. As time went on, Johnny Uncle would approach and not long after would begin conversating about deeper aspects of the faith, and I could tell he sought friendship with God and held reverence toward God. He is a great influence and is enjoying choirs in heaven and the music of angels, singing and praising the Lord while discovering the Glory of Heaven and learning all he can about God and Jesus. He now begins the work of being part of our great cloud of witnesses and getting prayers activated from his new home. Our hearts are with the entire family, but I am encouraged those in heaven are happy with Dad being one of them.
2 Cor 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” We pray for the Lord to bring you comfort and strength as you grieve.

Have known John since his school days and always heard about his success in school and his musical talent. I have heard that a family from Singapore had brought an expensive piano accordion and John learned to play it first and then taught the family members!! I was always impressed with his musical talent and he would liven a group with his guitar and singing. I had met him briefly at the rehab center in 2025 and can't believe that he has left us. His efforts at building a hospital in Andhra Pradesh, India and caring for the poor and needy is remarkable indeed. He has been helpful to us in many ways and we are thankful. As a close relative, we are proud of his many achievements and his demise is a terrible loss for us all.

We are saddened by the news of passing of Dr. John Abraham. I have known John since his residency training in dermatology at Kings County Hospital and Downstate Medical Center in late 1960. Our families became friends. John was a kind and compassionate individual. He loved music. We will miss him. May his Soul Rest in Peace. We want to convey our sincere condolences to the family.

My acquaintance and friendship with Johnny started in 1961, starting with our medical school days. Johnny always was there to guide me in our studies, and during our early days of our medical career in USA. We will miss him considerably and may his sole rest in peace. Our heartfelt condolences to the family.
