I remember playing ping pong one night at the CIA and we had been playing for nearly three hours when I hit a shot near the edge of the table and Eric almost fell out the window trying to hit the shot back, that was Eric,he would rather go out a second story window than lose at anything. He was the best, I will miss him. I wish the best for his wife and family, his brother Greg and his mom who always took care of me when I came to Staten Island. She always welcomed me as her other son from "Philly". God Bless
Eric was a great friend and a great chef. I will miss him dearly.
I met my Husband in the Turks and Caicos Islands at Club Med Tourgoise 20 years ago. He was the executive chef there. We spent every moment for 7 days together. Once I left he quit his job followed me back to New York, (where it turns out we were both raised on Staten Island and showed up at my office that Monday morning. We moved in together that Friday. We had 20 years together and 3 amazing sons. We miss him and love him deeply. Rest in Peace my Love. Te adoro mi corazon.
My heartfelt and sincere condolences to Eric's Wife, Son's, Mother, Brother, Stepfamily and all his extended family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I grew up with Eric in Great Kills, and we shared so much together, the great times were endless to say the least.... They will always be remembered as some of the best times of my life. Rest in eternal peace my friend !
