How we coped with the new millennium Y2K bug computer scare.

Remembering Al Abrahams

Al Abrahams with Year 2K Bugs

Al Abrahams co-founded the Silicon Valley Confection Company with Rich Yacco.  Al served as CEO and came up with the idea for a chocolate Y2K bug.

Unfortunately, Al passed away on January 17, 2020 in Bay Shore, New York. Having spent much of his life on the East Coast, that is where Al returned after the Silicon Valley Confection Company shut down.

Without Al’s candy and business experience, SVC2 would never have existed.

You can learn more about his contributions throughout this website. The image on this page was taken during a 1999 photo shoot that used a digital video camera to record still frames used for publicity photos. Watch the session video below to experience a little of what it was like to have Al as a business partner and a friend.
