To the Kissa Family, I am an employee at Total Hearing Care, where myself and Margarita Razpopov assisted your father with his hearing. From the first time we meant Mr. Kissa, we all were stunned by his Blue Eyes. He has such a charismatic personality and we adored him. We both enjoyed helping your father anytime he needed us. When he or Ms. Kissa would call we would be so overjoyed to assist. I know this is your time to grieve, but rejoice as well. Your father is in a place where he is...

Eric was a wonderful, creative photographer, a real gentleman, a pillar in the photographic community writ large and especially in the Delaware Photographic Society. Eric was always willing to offer his guidance and be helpful to new and existing members alike. His contribution to the club over the decades is immeasurable. To say he will be missed does not even begin to describe his loss.
