John R. Erbeck Ph.D.

It is nice to see this most recent post, knowing others are visited in their dreams by the Doc. I have had a few visitations and they always bring me much happiness.

One of the best I had was him riding on my Bike MS team. At the day's end party we had beers together. That's right beer, not wine. This dream coming from off topic conversations of beer and wine we had. I learned things about wine from him and he learned things about brews from me. That was a great chat...

Dreamed of you last night Jack. First time in years and years. It was a good dream. I think of you fondly. I wish we had been allowed to talk towards the end. You introduced me to so very much, and overall, made my life better. I will remember you always and hopefully we will be allowed to talk and laugh again together on the other side. XO

I saw Dr. Erbeck as a young boy, and through his guidance and understanding molded me into a young man who now has a successful career in the military. Many of my accomplishments today would not be possible without the solid guidance of a smart, compassionate, and humbled man growing up. You will truly be missed and alway's remembered.

Caroline, I won't be able to think of Dr. Erbeck without thinking of you. I appreciated both your help.

Carolyn and family: So sorry Jack has passed away. I knew him as a colleague through important times for psychologists in Ventura. He was a consummate professional, kind, articulate, always maintaining his sense of humor. I am grateful to have known him. I am sorry for your loss. Kay Emerick

Dear Carolyn,
I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Jack and I and our running group spent many great hours together running all over the area in the 70's and 80's. He was a great and funny guy. When we meet again in heaven we'll greet each other with a hearty "Ho-o-o-o-o!"
Here's a picture of Jack in the 1980 Mulholland Relay. This is the picture that I always have in my mind when I think of Jack.

I knew Dr. Erbeck, briefly, as a fellow psychologist. I saw him as a gentle, strong, smart, sweet guy. Unfortunately, cancer is rarely "fair." Sorry to hear that he's died; he was one of the "Good People."

My deep condolences to Carolyn and the famiy. Dr Erbeck, will be missed by many, but not forgotten.

Certainly saddened to hear of Jack's passing. We had some great times at Saticoy CC, with the Stag and he helped a great deal with my elderly mother. Know Carolyn and Jennifer are hanging in. Miss you guys!God Bless you all. Jack was a great guy!!!!
