I just found out today of Eric's passing through a mutual friend, and certainly with I had known much sooner about his loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Eric through the daily commute into and out of Boston for our respective jobs, as well as working out at the Y, and he was indeed the nicest guy. He took great pride in talking about his family, as well as other topics. My deepest condolences to his family.

My family and I were so saddened to hear about your loss. We knew Eric when he was a teenager, as he would visit our family in Stoughton when he would spend time with his cousin Steve. He was very special to all of us, loved to visit and chat with my dad...took me to my first dance...and even joined us for one Christmas morning. We have fond memories of a funny, gregarious guy. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to his wife, children, mother, sister, cousins and all of his family and friends. He was much too young. So sorry. Sincerely,
Pam Sawyer (DeNapoli), Clif and Vivian Sawyer, and the entire Sawyer family

My condolences to all impacted by the loss of this man, whom I did not know, but saw almost daily on the commute from Swampscott to Boston. His yellow jacket and running shoes always caught my eye, and I enjoyed eavesdropping on his friendly conversations, where I observed his pride in his family, and genuine kindness.

April 27, 2014

To Eric a stranger was only a friend he had not yet met, but no one could fill his heart like his family. Not a more generous giver of himself and champion to all; Thank You Eric Medoff, because of you, I am a better human being. I will cherish our walks together.
Deepest Condolences and love,
Dina

Eric & I worked side-by-side for 15 years, and it was a lot of laughs: we both loved to tell stories. I will miss hearing him break into "Mona Lisa" at any given moment during the day, singing or whistling it.
He was a good man and friend, and I am glad to have known him.
My deepest condolences to the family he treasured: to him, Life was Family, everything else came second.

Our hearts go out to all of the Medoff family. A sudden and sad loss. Eric was such a warm, decent and wonderful person. His love of his family was always there on the surface - proud of his children especially. He will be remembered as a very special person. Too soon for goodbye.
Much love from the Shashas.
