Obituary

JOSEPH P.ABRAHAM, M.D. May 1, 2008. Age 87. A thoughtful and capable hematologist, Dr. Abraham left his mark as a teacher and a clinician who worked well with others.

"He was well known as a very caring, patient-oriented individual," according to Sheikh Saeed, M.D., division head of Hematopathology and director of Henry Ford Hospital's Blood Bank.

A native of Falmouth, Kentucky, Dr. Abraham received his undergraduate degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1945. He served his internship and a hematology fellowship at Cincinnati General Hospital. His training was interrupted by World War II, when he was a captain in the Army, stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. After the war, he served his residency from 1948-51 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.

He joined Henry Ford Hospital in 1952 as a staff physician assigned to Hematology. From 1976 until his retirement from Henry Ford Hospital in 1988, he was an associate professor at the University of Michigan.

"He had a superb sense of humor," said Dr. Saeed. "He worked extremely well with his colleagues, residents and others. Everybody had tremendous respect for him."

He was a member of many professional groups, including Alpha Omega Alpha, the American Federation for Clinical Research, the American Medical Association, the American Society of Hematology, and the Southwest Oncology Group. He was a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

Beloved husband of Jean. Dear father of Joseph, Jr. (Karen), Mary Osak (Gary) and Thomas. Loving grandfather of Julie Dick (Cristhian), Joseph Abraham III, Maureen and Colleen Osak. Great-grandfather of Anna Dick.

Family will receive friends at A.J. Desmond & Sons (Vasu, Rodgers & Connell Chapel), 32515 Woodward Ave. (btwn 13-14 Mile) Sunday 2-8pm. Rosary Sunday 4pm.
