Abraham Warde

Abraham Warde, of Greenwich, Connecticut, age 82, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2022 surrounded by his family. Abraham was born in Damascus, Syria, the son of Youssef and Renée (Nabki) Warde. The epitome of a self-made man, Abraham’s educational and professional pursuits led him to emigrate to the United States in 1964, shortly after studying at Damascus University and establishing a career in banking. After initially settling in Texas, he moved to Greenwich in 1982 and spent years successfully building numerous businesses, working in engineering, and lovingly raising his family. Abraham loved to explore all that life had to offer. He was fluent in four languages, enjoyed traveling, and spent many days enjoying his time working around his home. He also valued life’s more simple moments, especially spending time with his grandchildren, playing cards with family, and sharing good conversation and life’s stories with all of those he met. Later in life, he could be found reading, listening to his beloved classical music, and watching his favorite shows in his native tongue. Abraham was predeceased by his loving wife, Sylvia, and is survived by his sisters, Leila Faddoul and Fadia Barsa, his daughter Renée Sullivan and son-in-law Dan of Fairfield, and son Yussef Warde of Greenwich. He is also survived by two grandchildren who adored their grandpa: Paige and Benjamin Sullivan. A private service will he held on Thursday, February 10th at St. Mary Church, Greenwich, CT. Donations may be made in Abraham’s memory to the American Diabetes Association.
