It is a sad thing that I didnt get to know Uncle Skip as well as I should have, but at the times I did see him he had a smile that warmed your heart, and that I will carry with me forever.

Linda,We followed you through Skips sickness and each step the two of you took together. How he loved you. I know you will take a measure of comfort from this. God will give you the peace that passes ALL understanding if you reach out to Him. One who knows, may God sustain you and your family through this sorrowful period.

I was quite saddened to learn of Steve's passing. He was really a wonderful, caring, devoted person who possessed a gentle soul, and a kind spirit. I have met few people in my life like Steve. His loss is that to all of us. May God give solace to all of his family and friends and may his memory always be for a blessing.

I met Steve many years ago at Manzari's. He had a smile that was so warm and friendly. We were friends, I had not seen Steve in quite some time, and I always thought about him when I saw the Ehrlich truck. I had no idea he was sick, and it saddens me that he had to leave this earthly life so soon. I will pray for his family, and everyone that was blessed enough to have known him. May you all find comfort in knowing what an honor it was to have such a man to call "husband", "dad" "skip", and the list goes on. I know that I am honored to be able to call him "friend". God Bless.

With Steve on and off for thirty years. He was at peace with himself and that benefits everyone. If I said he will be missed that would be an understatment.

My wife & I met Steve thru Erlich services. He was our tech for years and he was one of the nicest men we've ever met. We came to think of him as a friend, not our tech.
Our deepest condolences to his family. He'll be missed.

As a new sales rep and new to the pest control industry in 2003, Steve would always step forward to help me with all services, introduce me to all his contacts in Corning, let me know if I undersold a service but most importantly, he always thanked me when the service was proposed correctly.Steve you are sadly missed but will never be forgotten.

I use to babysit you two when you were little. I didn't have the opportunity to meet your Dad until much later. He was a wonderful guy, always smiling, and always talking about you. You and your families are in my prayers.

Linda,
When I was reading the paper and saw Steves face smiling back at me my heart sank for you and his family, as I knew what it meant. However, to see his smile reminded me of the kind, funny and caring person he was. I am so happy for the time he brightened your life and pray that the peace and calm that glowed from him will continue to comfort you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Skip's family. I went to SRU with him and he was one of the nicest boys in the class of 1968.
Skip had a heart of gold and was full of kindness. He will no doubt be missed by his loved ones. I am so saddened to be reading of his passing.

Steve was known to us here at Corning Incorporated's Houghton Park Complex as "The Rat Man". He was a man who took his profession very serious and went out of his way to provide excellent service. He always ended each monthly visit by saying, "Gentlemen, as always, it has been a pleasure to kill for you".
