Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
He died in San Diego in early November 1966, and was buried in Greenwood Memorial Park, as was his wife Freda in 1988. He had had no children. At his request, his tombstone was headed with his ring name, Abe the Newsboy, the name used almost exclusively by the newspapers that covered his boxing and wrestling career.
Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
Hollandersky often took orders for his autobiography before new editions, particularly the first two, from Navy personnel of the Pacific fleet in San Pedro harbor, and for later editions in San Diego after he moved there around 1946. Three of the many ships from whose crew he took book orders were the , , and . The "Arizona" and "Oklahoma" both had noteworthy boxing and wrestling instruction during the years Abe boarded them, and sadly both were badly damaged at Pearl Harbor, with the Arizona becoming a permanent monument after it sunk. Abe may have helped with boxing instruction and taken orders for books on the USS "Tennessee" and USS "Nevada", as he had signed photos of several boxers from both ships in his book, and the USS "New Mexico", as he posed for a photo with one of their athletic teams. Two other large battleships that Abe boarded with a Liberty Pass and known for their boxing were the USS "Texas", and the USS "California" which was also damaged at Pearl Harbor. He continued to personally sell his book directly to the public during his retirement.
