Dr. Michael C. Abraham, who practiced family medicine in Dolgeville for years, loved music and doing outdoor sports like cycling, hiking, and skiing.

He died on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, at the age of 76.

“Born in 1948 in Trinidad and Tobago to the late Pauline Camacho and Fleming Abraham,” his family wrote in a tribute, “he spent his youth in Trinidad, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico.

“In 1969, he moved to Zaragoza, Spain for medical school where he met the love of his life, Maria T. Abraham. The family lived for some years in Puerto Rico where he worked for the National Health Service before moving to Yonkers, New York for his residency in family medicine.

“They later settled in Dolgeville, New York where he practiced family medicine for many years. The family spent several years in Sackets Harbor, New York and Accomac, Virginia before returning home to Dolgeville. These last few years, Mike and Maria moved to the Albany area to be closer to their children.

“Michael was an avid cyclist and lover of physical sports like cross-country skiing, hiking, swimming, and kayaking. He learned his love of music from his mother and provided hours of entertainment for family and friends playing the piano, guitar, and really any instrument he picked up.

“He was known for his high tolerance of spicy hot sauces. Though a serious and formal man, those closest to him knew he was always up to some tricks. In his last years, he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.”
