Captain Bruce Edward Abraham Obituary (1946

Captain Bruce Edward Abraham Born February 4, 1946 in Bakersfield, California and passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 8, 2006. Many friends share a great loss from his sudden passing. We all have vivid memories of Bruce's fine wit and social criticism. In his career as a professional seaman he rose through U.S. Coast guard examinations to attain an Unlimited Masters license. Bruce was involved for many years with Greenpeace activities and served as 3rd mate on the Greenpeace vessel "Rainbow Warrior". He had extreme adventures all over the world and met life at full force. He held his beliefs dearly and lived a courageous life of environmental and political activism. William Blake wrote "In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors". Bruce never bothered to knock! He was plainly and simply an unforgettable character. And so, as he would say when leaving on his voyages: "TA TA"
