On May 28, 2010 beloved husband of Jeanne Alyce Koren, cherished father of Kim Koren (Jolynn) and Kara Koren-Szirotnyak (Michael) and loving grandfather of Kasey Szirotnyak, Kori Szirotnyak, Kaytlin Koren, Kristian Koren and Kelsey Koren, passed away in Panama City, Florida after a brief illness. Abel was a loving and wonderful husband for 61 yrs to the love of his life, Jeanne. They met as 'œkids', fell in love, and started their journey of a lifetime on September 30, 1949. After Abel retired from LOF in 1982, and Jeanne from St. Charles Hospital in 1983, they built and moved into their dream home in Eastpoint, Florida where they have remained. They have enjoyed their lives together tremendously and made many moments to remember. Abel was an avid fisherman who loved fishing the Core Banks, Lake Erie and anywhere in Florida. He was also a tremendous athlete excelling in basketball, baseball and bowling. He was an avid Florida State University football fan'¦go Noles!! Abel was a 'œman'™s, man', who deeply loved his family and friends. He was honest, caring and the best friend you could ever have. He was generous and always there to lend a helping hand. Abel was preceded in death by his sisters Elizabeth Swanson and Nancy Reynolds and a brother, Joseph Koren. He leaves behind many nieces, nephews and beloved friends. He was a private man, so to this end, there will be no visitation. Services will be private and for immediate family only.
