Mr. Smith was born in Weston and had lived in Manasquan, Mountain Lakes, Plainfield and Warren before moving to Summit more than 20 years ago. He was a 1927 graduate of Bound Brook High School, and he received a bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in New Brunswick and a master's degree from Columbia University in New York. Mr. Smith spent 44 years in education and was well known in the tri-state area for his success as a high-school football coach.

He was director of athletics at Plainfield High School and coached the football team for many years. Prior to this, he also had held positions at Manasquan and Mountain Lakes high schools. He was one of the organizers of the Shore Athletic Conference. In 1965, while coaching at Plainfield High School, he was selected by the New York Daily News as its star football coach. The New Jersey football coaches selected Abe as Coach of the Year in 1964, '65 and '66, and he was inducted into the New Jersey Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1987.
Mr. Smith was a member of the Masonic Order F&AM and was a member and past president of the Rotary Club of Plainfield. He also was an amateur artist and enjoyed portrait and landscape painting.
Surviving are his wife, Kathryn Brown Smith;
