It was the first day of school at PS 236 in 1952. Roger Simonsen was in my class and our mothers met for the first time. Little did we know that our parents would become best friends and our families would be entwined for the next almost 70 years. I have known Eric (andCraig) for their whole lives. I am so devastated for Eileen and Keith to have lost their devoted husband and dad. Eric loved his family, the outdoors, boy scouts, hunting and spent much time at my parents' property upstate. When my mom had to sell the land, having Eric take it over was like keeping it in the family. I am so sad that Covid is keeping my away from attending services for Eric but know that your whole family is in my heart. Love, Joanne
