The world was blessed to have such a brilliant mind and stern but loving hand. E.C. taught me so much in such a short time at MCG. His belief in me fueled years of success in my life. For that I will always be grateful. My heart grieves at the loss. Yet, it expresses great joy that E.C. joins the Lord. Our sincere sympathy condolences to the entire Abraham family.
