It seems like yesterday we were at Fredonia State in the Cooperative Engineering Program. We then became Brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon. I have nothing but fond memories of our friendship and all the fabulous times we have had. The last time we were together was 7 years ago at my house having a cookout, with Tony, Roger, and Joe enjoying each other’s company as per usual. You know when you have genuine true friends when you don’t see each other for years and then when you do it’s like you never were apart. I never thought that would be the last time I would see you and I’m still in shock about your passing. You were a fabulous person and will be missed. Rest In Peace my dear friend. HFF.

Eric was such a genuine and personable gentleman; he made a perfect "greeter" at the door on Sunday mornings before the services started. His smile was contagious and it was evident that he loved his family, friends and most of all Jesus. I was always interested to hear where Eric and Tammy were going to take their grandchildren, Chase and Eli, on Sunday's after church. They were always "on the go" and loved spending quality time together. I admired Eric's dedication to Tammy and recall that Eric and Tammy frequently went out on "date nights" so that they could spend quality time with each other.

We moved from NY too Florida years ago but remain members of the Legion. I state that because while we were so far away Eric with txt’s and email’s made Ruth and I feel like we were still there. He kept us updated and would make sure our thoughts and condolences were relayed to members that needed it. We are very sad at his early passing.

We are very saddened by Erics’ passing. We have known him and his family for over 25 years. He was a gentleman, and a devote follower of Jesus Christ. Our children are similar in ages to Erics’. Our hearts go out to all who had the good fortune of knowing him. In particular to his immediate family, we pray for healing at this sad time. Eric, Rest In Peace!

I was so saddened to hear of Eric's passing. I had the privilege of being a guardian on Honor Flight Mission 14 and of meeting him then. What a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

I called Eric a couple of years ago, looking for a Veteran who had passed away. Many calls later and extensive searching, we couldn't find Jeff, but I felt the care and concern he gave to me. Thanks Eric....

I had many interactions with Eric and virtually everyone of them ended with him saying "for God and Country." He was a special person to work with because you always knew God, country, and his family surpassed everythign else. He stood out in a world chasing material pursuits as a man with his feet firmly on the ground. He was full of passion, and it was founded on the very best principles. I know his beloved family will miss him, please take comfort in knowing what he brought to a world lacking in everything he stood for.

Oh Brittany, I am so sorry for this huge loss. I remember all the fun times on the boats with you guys, basically living with each other as kids back and fourth to each other’s house daily. The Fourth of July was particularly awesome with your dad, spending the whole day on the boat then fireworks after. There were so many fun times with him, he was such a nice guy. Your family is in my prayers.

This loss is tremendous. But I truly believe Eric is with God, pain free, and now watching over is family. Dear Eric: we promise to be there for your daughter, son-in-law and your precious granddaughter. Thank you for being so gracious and kind every time we saw you. Rest In Peace. ❤️

I found out late Tuesday that Eric had passed. Since then it’s been nonstop calls and emails with old friends we shared at Oracle and at our company APG Technologies. As my phone conversations progressed and the shock mounted it started me thinking about what Eric meant and who he was.

I remember your kindness and flowers sent a few years back. My father spoke highly of you often. Thank you Mike for your words. God is good, even in our darkest hours.. all the time. He was fortunate to have such a friend and partner as yourself. I will pray for your health as well.

What a tremendous loss for your family, Honor Flight, veterans and all whom knew Eric. I met him about 30 years ago when we worked together in Rome. He was so genuine, full of integrity and good will. Always a smile. We were neighbors and parents of elementary school children together. We stayed in touch personally and professionally through the years when he was at Kodak, Oracle and APG. I looked forward to each Honor Flight when I could greet him and his precious veterans as they departed and returned home.

Eric, you are a big brother to me. The things we went through together left an indelible impression on my life. You believed in me, supported me and took bullets for me when no one else would. I'm who I am today, largely because of your brotherly love. You always checked in on me and made sure I was ok. And like a younger brother I would foolishly become self-absorbed and forget to check in on you.

His journey was too short, but his accomplishments were so many. Eric was a devout Christian and American. He lived up to the highest standards. God has welcomed him to his forever home. We have been proud to call him friend for many years.

I first met Eric at Hanscom AFB in 2002 when he interviewed me for a role at Oracle. I remember the recruiter describing Eric as an Amish looking man with a friendly smile. The next day I was in lower Manhattan interviewing for a different role and viewing the still smoldering pile that was once the twin towers when my phone rang. Eric asked what it would take for me to join him in serving our country as a contractor in the post 911 world. I mentioned my location and view and he told me to give him one hour and to check my email. I knew then he was a man of his word and that joining him was the only thing that made any sense. We worked together for many years and formed an alliance and a lifelong friendship. I just never guessed it would be this short. I trust God to call on his soldiers when he needs them. I truly enjoyed visiting Eric and Tammy in Skaneateles a couple years back and was blessed to speak to him a few months ago. I will miss him dearly but am comforted knowing he is watching over us until we are called. To his family, I’m sure no words can comfort you. I want to thank all of you for sharing him with all of us. Though I cannot be there in person to pay my respects, I will have him and you in my thoughts. God Bless.

I've known Eric since childhood, attending the Homer School system with him, Little League baseball and our Homer Methodist Sunday School and Church. Eric was a gentle soul with a quick smile and laugh. Eric, you will be missed but I assume the Lord called you home for something bigger and more important than anything here. I offer the family my heartfelt condolences.

While we were fortunate to have known Eric, his compassion for mankind, unwavering faith in God and love for country were evident and exemplified in all his actions. As we find comfort in knowing your home with our Heavenly Father, we'll cherish our memories and carry love in our hearts. Big-E, Rest In Peace.

Eric's character is something I'll always remember. His operating mantra was to tie everything back to doing the right thing. I was friends with him in the Air Force in Rome NY - in the mid to late 1980s and worked for him on an innovative high paced project along with John Casebolt. And while I worked for him, it seemed he worked for me. Eric took care of his troops, trusted them and kept us oriented towards to right thing to do. We worked together, traveled together, went to Squadron Officer's School together. I remember meeting Brittany and Ryan as babies - I think Eric even let me hold Brittany at the Officer's club once! I left RADC and we went our separate ways in 1991 - I went to California and I jokingly kept asking Eric about his time at the Kodak fotomat booth since he couldn't say anything about his job there. In 2005, Eric asked if I was interested in working for Oracle for the National Security Group - it was perfect timing so I gladly worked for Eric again. He exhibited the same care and devotion to his employees as he did his troops. He fought the various bureaucracies to do the right thing and I was always amazed at his vast network of contacts and projects. Every meeting we would go to - Eric would inevitably either know the person directly or they would both know someone in common. He left Oracle and I've stayed on - but our paths crossed periodically due to the nature of our work and the common set of people we knew. Eric has been part of most of my life and has been very influential with regard to setting a standard for character, trustworthiness and honesty. I always expected to meet up with Eric again and maybe even work together. My heartfelt thoughts go to Eric's family. Rest in Peace.

What a guy! I’m in shock over Eric’s passing. I met him through the Legion while working as a reporter. He was so smart and kind, too. Just an exemplary leader helping transform our Legion Post into a 21 et century home for our veterans to be recognized, supported and cared for.

Eric and I were freshman room mates. We spent a summer working as interns in NJ, once again roomates. I was his best man that year at his wedding. We stayed in touch throughout his life. I saw him develop from a college freshman to a husband, father, USAF officer, engineer, businessman. He was a devout christian who walked the walk. And a patriot. Saddened by loss but grateful that such men walk this earth. He was a good man in a storm.

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; [email protected] , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

How many testimonies do you need to read before you can contact the spiritualist to help you with the problem you are facing that makes life look choked and undeserving? Are you passing through pregnancy problems? Or maybe you want to get back your ex lover or get a big promotion in your office? I only needed to see Dr ANOKOKUDO to help me with my pregnancy problems and my help came to me. I promised if I got pregnant that I would also come online to share my experience with the world so others who are facing similar situations will get to know that there is a solution to every situation. My name is Millie Watson and I am from Arizona, USA. If you have been reading all I have said, I just want to thank Dr Anokokudo for helping me after 8 years of infertility since I got married in 2014. I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy on Dec 5 2022 and I will share this testimony of his work in my life to anywhere help is needed. You can contact Dr Anokokudo with his email [email protected] to help you with any problem you are facing and I promise you will be happy to also help others. Thank you extremely once again sir
