I just learned of Eric’s passing today and am in complete shock! Eric and I met the beginning of our Sophomore year of college. We were housemates off campus our senior year. We had SOOO many good times together. Though, he could be neurotic about his school work, diet, fitness, girls, his relationship w/ his German immigrant parents, his OCD…etc his mischievous smile was never off his face for very long. He always had a way of cracking me up.
He messaged me on Facebook 9 years ago and we talked about having a get together but it never happened. He messaged me again 2 years ago and said he had some news for me but the timing wasn’t right to tell me yet. He never did tell me and now I know it was about his ALS diagnosis. I wish I would have pressed him on it so I could see or at least talk to him at least 1 more time.
My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to his wife and sons. He was a great soul that I will always fondly remember. R.I.P. my brother❤️

I just learned of Eric’s passing today. My deepest condolences to his entire family. I roomed with Eric for a semester when we were at Oswego. He was an awesome guy. Always looked for the good in things and people and always had a smile. I loved listening to his calls with his mom ( in German). I didn’t understand a thing but I could tell there was a lot of love in those calls. Very sad.

I visited Eric shortly before he passed and despite his condition and inability to move, he was still smiling. ALS never took his spirited, kind heart.

We have so many memories of fun times spent with Eric, Michele, Ryan & Kyle at RM 4 beach over the years. We always enjoyed hearing about your Summer camping, hiking & kayaking adventures. Eric actually taught swimming to our young children at the YMCA back in the 1990’s. Eric was always smiling, so kind and such a gentleman. Sending love ….

Eric was a beautiful soul. Kind, compassionate and sincere. I met him while working at ADP, so many years ago. He initiated a small running group each Wednesday after work and one day he invited me. I was not at all a “runner”. But with his encouragement, I went. It became a weekly tradition - we’d go to Robert Moses Field 5 and run on the beach. Of course, we’d always end with a beer and great conversation afterwards. Soon after, I got to meet his girlfriend, Michele. I knew they would end up married someday – Michele and Eric were perfect for each other. I was blessed to get “2 for 1” out of the friendship. Their wedding was beautiful, and they made a happy home and family.
Eric always challenged me to do more athletically – he was a lifeguard at Jones Beach for many years and could out-do any of us in running, swimming, and anything else! If it weren’t for him, I would never have joined the LI Summer Run series and pushed myself. He taught me self-confidence and self-improvement. His friendship and support – I will always cherish.
Even though we lost touch as the years passed by, I am so grateful to have met him.
May your soul rest in peace friend. You are with your parents now and your legacy lives on within your two sons.
My deepest condolences to Michele and the boys, and to all who were blessed to have been touched by his light.

A wonderful neighbor and friend. I’ll miss him a lot, but at least his suffering from that horrible illness is over and he’s at peace.

Eric was such a good man, co-worker and friend. He had a positive impact on everyone he interacted with. He was genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met. It's terrible that such a wonderful person had to suffer through this horrible disease. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with his beautiful family that he loved so very much.
