I had a good friendship with Eric although we were living in two different Continents, Eric in North America and me in Europe, Italy. We worked for the same company, DEC and we were both amateur radio. I missed our chats. RIP & 73 Gian, I7SWX

When seeing an ad for an ARRL licensing class, I thought about how much fun I had with Eric and K1NUN at Camp Interlocken in the late 1960s. I received my license today and wanted Eric to be my first contact, but just learned the sad news that he had passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I renew my condolences to Eric family. It is a long time since he left us. I am sure is in a good place and near his family and friends.
73 dear Eric.

Eric and I became friends somewhere around 1972. I was very big into ham radio then as WA1SNI, completely crazy about 2m FM. Our other friend Sam completed the trio and we got together often.
One evening I went to an apartment community called Westgate in Chestnut Hill to visit my girlfriend Laura whom I eventually married.
To my total surprise I ran smack-dab into Eric, whose then-girlfriend Nancy lived right next to Laura...and whom he would eventually marry. We double-dated a few times.
Eric was quiet, bright, articulate and very perceptive, having a Masters in Counseling if I recall. We fell out of touch when my company moved us to CT, my loss. I think he was a QRP fan even then.
Nancy, I hope you remember me. I am so saddened at his loss. He was as fine a human being as I have ever known. So sorry he has gone QRT.
73 and 88s,
Fred Simonds, KE1AA

Eric and I were on the same docket to speak at the Boxborough Hamfest. We both loved operating QRP -low power operation- and I recall Eric's deep sense of humor. He was a fun and funny guy and I, too, will miss him dearly. We were just two guys who spoke to the audience but Eric's voice still looms within my ears. 73 pal. Dennis Marandos K1LGQ --

As a counselor in a summer camp in Maine, I met a young Eric Falkof. As the "Ham Radio" counselor, I found him a willing learner, and had the pleasure of giving him the FCC examination for his first license. Until I moved to Florida, we spoke on the local ham repeater channels. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. My call sign, W1WSN.

Dear Nancy and family,
Baruch Dayan Ha'emet.
We were shocked to hear this news. We will miss his smiling face, his warmth and his dedication to the TST community.
There are simply no words to say but we are truly sorry.
With deepest sympathy,

I met Eric in the mid 1970s when he and Nancy and my wife and I moved into the same apartment complex in Waltham. How exciting to have two hams in the same complex, both hiding antennas in the attic! After many conversations over the years, both in person and on-the-air, one always knew Eric was smiling when he spoke. Eric will be missed by so many communities for all that he did and for all that he was. My condolences to Nancy and the family and all Eric's friends.

I want to share with Eric's family the photo's I took of him on Nov. 16 at the Ham meeting. I wanted to record the experience of having such a great mentor and asked him to pose by the equipment and with various people there. I will forward these pictures to the family. I think the aforementioned thoughts expressed say it all. He was a gentlemen, witty, caring, etc. He made a valiant effort to impart as much knowledge as possible to us, novice hams. I thought he worked "too hard" at the sessions and felt guilty because he offered so much of himself. I feel grateful for time I had to know him through the Ham world--Eric was my teacher since 2008. Ciao, Eric and THANKS. You will "always be in my thoughts".

So shocked and saddened to learn of Eric's sudden death. I sat next to him in the Meah class many nights and we had lots of fun conversations. Eric was always a thoughtful contributor to the class. My husband knew him via ham radio for many years. Such a loss to our community. My condolences to his family.

I was shocked by Eric departure. My deepest condolences to Eric's family. We were very old friends as both empoyees of Digital Equipment Corporation, he in USA and me in Italy, and also members of the amateur radio club formed at DEC. During my visits in Mass for business meetings at Seachange International, we had the chance to meet for the first time and had often some get together, from 1998 to 2003. After such time we were in contact via internet. Ciao Eric my best 73 Giancarlo Moda, I7SWX (W1/I7SWX) Italy

Eric was a great asset to the ham radio community. His knowledge was vast, and he shared all so willingly. I enjoyed talking to Eric on the 146.64 repeater and in person at many events. He will be missed. My condolences to all of his family.

Nancy and family, my deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved Eric. He always had so much to add to any conversation, and was so knowledgable in the classes at Temple. He will surely be missed by all.

Eric was a kind and gentle soul, never in so much of a hurry that he couldn't spend a little time with you. His sudden and unexpected passing is a shock. He will be missed by all of his many ham radio friends, and especially by those of us who grew up with him in Newton.

Eric was a kind, wonderful gentleman who I knew through amateur radio for many years. His presentations at many amateur radio conventions were very interesting. Eric was the driving force behind the amateur radio station at the Zola Center. I hope that someone will take charge and ensure that it continues. I received an e-mail message from Eric describing the antenna building project on the day he passed away. It is sad to know that K1NUN is now a "silent key". RIP, Eric. 73 de W1RC
