Boomer. It's Erol. I had not seen you for years and it broke my heart to hear of your passing. However, I know you had a rich, full life and were like a second dad to me. You coached me and Mike's baseball teams, took us to white sox and cubbies games, and were just an overall cool person that I looked up to. The best times were the inside jokes and laughing when I came over to hang with Mike. One of the the funniest was when I broke one of your plates and you and Mike pretended like it was a...

Boomer.
We sure had a lot of fun back in the 60's in college. I have no idea how many beers we drank,how many wild parties we attended or how many hands of bridge we played. And how about the road trip to Florida over spring break 1968.I am happy we stayed in touch all these years and thanks for visiting us here in California a couple years ago. I will miss you my friend. Rest in peace.

He did laugh often . I remember when we had a fight in
the stands and he emulated a hockey fight by pulling the guys sweater over his head. Effective and no one got hurt

Back in the 1970's - 80's Boomer and I were on the same softball team. He was the catcher and I was the pitcher. We had alot of good times. Sorry for your loss.

I met Boomer while covering K-Wings games for channel 3 when he was an usher. He was so friendly and kind, and ALWAYS greeted me with a smile. He was a calming influence many times when I raced in and out to meet a deadline. I saw him around town a lot and played for his softball team for a few years. RIP Boomer. You will be missed but your spirit lives on. I will tip a Lord Chesterfield in your honor the next time I am in PA.

Boomer, we will always love you. Thank you for being such a great fried. You alway had that wonderful wit and great smiles... we will remember you forever! Till we meet again...
