Abraham Genderson of Chevy Chase, loving and beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 at the age of 103. A life-long Washingtonian, Abe starred on the DC championship basketball team at Central High School before serving as a Navy pilot during World War II. He flew over the troop transports on D-Day. After the war, he met and married the love of his life, Charlotte Schneider, and they recently celebrated their 76th anniversary. Shortly after the war, Abe and his father-in-law, Max Schneider, opened a liquor and wine shop, Schneider's of Capitol Hill, which has become a landmark on the Hill and is now operated by the fourth family generation. Abe also owned a beer distributorship in DC and Maryland before retiring to Florida, where Abe and Charlotte spent many wonderful years playing tennis until his mid-90s, golf until his late 90s and socializing with their many, many friends. He led a full life and was still driving and riding his bike at 100. Abe is predeceased by his son Jonathan, his brother, Milton, his sister and brother-in-law, Sylvia and Les Rosenzweig, and sister-in law and brother-in-laws Cecil and Joe Brenner and Irv Warshaw. He is survived by his wife, Charlotte Genderson, his sons Bruce (Donna) and Richard (Staci) his daughter-in-law Lori, eight grandchildren (Margo, Alana, Jamie, Josh, Kara, Max, Elyse and Rachel) and their spouses, ten great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Family meant everything to Abe, and he adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who gave him so much pleasure. His life was truly a blessing to his family and everyone who knew him. The funeral service will take place at Congregation B'nai Tzedek at 1 on Thursday with internment thereafter at King David Cemetery. The family will be sitting Shiva at the home of Donna & Bruce Genderson on Thursday and Saturday evenings.
