    Abram Tavera was born in 1927 in Wilmington, CA to Timothy and Ruth Tavera. He was the 4th child of 8 siblings. He is survived by his wife Ruth, two sons Steve and Mitchell, two daughters Janet and Jennice, 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

He joined the U.S. Army in March of 1946 and faithfully served during the POST World War II era until February 1947. On his return he started working at a gas station where he met the love of his life, his wife, Ruth Trujillo. On 12/6/2021 they celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary. After working at the gas station, he started selling cars and then went on to become a Los Angeles Police officer in 1950. He worked for the department for the next 20 years. In 1963, he opened his first Taco Bell and went on to opened 2 more. In 1968 he opened King Harbor Marine Center repairing boats. He spent the rest of his life “going to the boatyard”. Abe died on 12/22/2021 surrounded by his family. He will forever be in our hearts and memories.
