Dr Stumpf,

Today, I have the courage to write to you after having the most beautiful dream many days after your passing. You came in through our office window shining as light, radiated from your head to your toes. You wore a white robe made of fine linen. As you entered the office, you hugged me. I introduced you to many of my peers and told you that this was Prestige. You hugged each of us and thanked us for all our hard work. As I led you through the halls of our office your soul radiated peace and light. You looked around our PA department and nodded as confirming we would always have your presence. After sharing some time with us sitting in an office,you told me it was time to go and led me back to the window as you faced the heavens. You waved and as you flew away, your white robe fell on the roof next to the window seal and you disappeared in radiant light into the sky above.
I know you stand next to God today and you confirmed that with this dream. You will live forever in our minds, souls and dreams. I wish peace on your family and if ever they open this page again, they will know that your soul is like a star shinning like an angel in the sky. Please know you are still missed.

I met Erik in the first days of medical school at SUNY Buffalo, when, due to our last names, we were assigned to the same cadaver during gross anatomy. He was always kind and easy to talk with. It's been over 20 yrs since I've seen him, and tonight while watching baseball on TV, there was commentary on someone with the last name Stumpf. I immediately thought of Erik, which prompted me to search online to see what he was doing. I was saddened to read of his passing. Reading through everyone's messages, it sounds like he became the type of doctor I thought he would. I'm so sorry for your loss. Try to take comfort from the fact that he was loved by so many. RIP, Erik - thanks for helping me through gross anatomy so many years ago.

He was a gentle, caring man. It was a gift to work with him in his residency!

Dr. Stumpf was such a great influence for me with my work at Prestige. He liked to discuss cases and provide teaching moments which were so helpful. He will really be missed.

John and Donna,
I am so sorry for your great loss.
My heart is broken for you.
May the Lord strengthen you and keep you close.

We are saddened to learn about Eric's passing, may the LORD comfort you as only He is able to do. Praying for your peace.

What a great guy, may he rest in peace.

Donna and John, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are for your comfort, peace and acceptance. May your faith in the grace of God and the knowledge of Erik's faith sustain all of you.

I worked with Dr. Stumpf at Halifax. I remember him as a resident in the ER. He was always knowledgable, kind, genuine and compassionate with both staff and patients. My condolences to the family.

John and Donna, my prayers are with you at this time of loss. The Lord will sustain you at this time. You are in my heart and thoughts. Love you

Eric was my best friend in medical school, SUNY at Buffalo '95. A truly genuine person. A Christian with a wonderful testimony! He used to call me "Time" for Time-Warner, the local cable company :) I was sorry that Florida stole him! I heard the news from Don McPhee. My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed.

Something made me look for the Hoffman sisters on Facebook. I found Linda and that led me to this sad news. It's been a long time but my parents were neighbors of Chuck and Mary Ellen and I was dance student. I'm so sorry to hear this news. Bless you.

I had the pleasure to work with Erik for some time at Halifax. And we also attended Crossroads Baptist Church at the same time. He was an inspirational man, proud to talk of his love for Christ, and his love for his family. He always respected the nurses' oppinions and thoughts on patients. He was always so happy to talk of his wife and children, and you could see his face light up and the sparkle in his eyes. He will truly be very missed by the countless lives he touched!

I am so sorry to hear the loss of a great man and physician. Dr. Stumpf was a highlight in my profession. He was kind and genuine; always taking time to listen. He will truly be missed! I wish you and your family the best!

Dear Donna, It has been many years since CHHS and Geraldine Hoffman School of Dance. We all have grown and had our families since that time. Mom and Dads should never have to lose their child at any age and I cannot even imagine the pain of your loss. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sending you prayers. I enjoyed working with Erik. I found him an island of knowledge and reason in a sea of turmoil. I considered him an esteemed colleague.

You can tell by the meaningful moments, smiles, laughter, and tears what kind a soul a person has. Erik had a beautiful soul. While Erik's intelligence, passion for family medicine and for person-centered and population driven health care brought us together, we connected at a much deeper level. Erik was kind and caring, a good listener, a person of faith, who deeply loved his wife and children, and was always pointed in the right direction - - a real "mensch" as we say, with all the finest attributes we strive to emulate. I cherish those moments, and remember the special times we had. May the love of family and friends be of comfort to Amy and their children during this time of mourning. May the memory of this extraordinary person give his family and those blessed to know him hope, joy, laughter, strength, meaning and peace in the days, months and years ahead. Like the sun, moon and stars in the sky, Erik will always be with us if we look for him.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers. I know Erik from his time at Daytona Beach Baptist Church/CrossRoads Ministries. When I was pregnant with my last child, I would sit close to Erik during the evening church service. I knew that if I was feeling poorly, he would take over and play the piano for me at the end of the service. He was a compassionate man who lived a life of integrity. May God give you comfort and strength as you are in the midst of great sorrow. You will be in my prayers. There is peace in knowing that Erik is praising Jesus in heaven right now and for all eternity.

I met Dr. Stumpf when he started at Florida Blue..when he found out I was from the Buffalo area, we had many conversations about the Sabres & Buffalo Bills. He was kind, attentive & always provided knowledge that helped each one he encountered to grow a little more professionally. He will be missed but his spirit & ideas will continue forward. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

I worked with Dr Stumpf at Halifax both in the ER and on rounds. He was a terrific, compassionate doctor. I'm so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

I worked with Dr. Stumpf at Florida Blue. I will always remember how kind, caring and helpful he was.
He cared about he fellow workers and the Fl. Blue members. He loved and spoke so kindly of his lovely family. You will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Amy, Luke and Family;
My thoughts and prayers are with you right now. When I think of Erik, I think of a kind, passionate man who cared so much about his family and other people. He had a quiet enthusiasm that was easy to get swept up in. I feel honored to have known him.

He was a great addition to our Board. One of my favorite memories was at the Y's Festival of Trees, when he was so happy and proud to introduce me to his father.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Please let me know if there's anything I can do.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dr. Stumpf at Prestige. He was a wonderful teacher, mentor and friend. He would always take any time that we needed to give us his incredible knowledge and wisdom. He was a Godly man so I know that he is in Heaven now rejoicing with the angels. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I met Erik while he was working at Florida Blue. He had a pleasant personality and a warmth smile. He always spoke to everyone, regardless of title or position within the organization. A very humble individual that will be sorely missed by his family and all those who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

I had the honor of working with Dr. Stumpf at Florida Blue and he was always available to us to answer any questions we had about our members. He always showed kindness,caring and concern.

God bless you and your family.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Stumpf at Florida Blue. Our cubicles were next to each other. I remember him as a kind, compassionate and humble person. He was not someone proud or hard to reach or talk to. I always admired that of him. He always had a smile on his face and spoke about his wife and kids with such love! He was truly a man of God at work! I am saddened by his passing but brings peace knowing that he has been forever healed and made forever pain free. I pray God's love, peace and consolation is poured down to his loved ones, wife, kids, parents, siblings, and all who mourn today. Until we see you again Dr. Stumpf! Thanks for leaving your healing imprint in this hurting world!

I was one of Eric's faculty during his residency at Halifax Medical and Sports Medicine Residency. He was a wonderful Christian Man and an outstanding Resident whom I admired greatly. I knew he would be an exceptional Family Physician. This news has saddened me greatly. What a great loss to the family and society! My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you, the family.

Dear Mrs. Stumpf and family, I offer you my most sincere condolences for your loss. Dr. Stumpf was my co-worker here at Prestige. He was such a wonderful person to work with. Definitely a man to be admired for what he stood for. He always set the example of being a compassionate, genuine, kind-hearted individual who gave his best and loved his family. He was caring to us here at work and we will greatly miss him. May he rest in peace with God and may God grant all of you peace. Sincerely

I had the privledge of teaching and working with Erik when I was the director of Erik's family medicine residency program. Of the hundreds of medical residents I worked with in my career, Erik was truly one of the finest. Possessed of a keen mind and overwhelming compassion, he was a blessing to patient's and colleagues.

I am so honored to call Erik my brother in Christ Jesus. Erik walked out his Love of Jesus, in the life he lived. Erik represented our Savior, through his nurturing smile, his tender heart, and the Godly compassion and mercies that he graced us all with, each and everyday in his walk with Christ. You brightened the ER halls of Halifax Hospital, with your contagious happy smile and laughter...I'm so Blessed to have known you Erik.

Dear Donna and Stumpf family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope it gives you peace knowing he no longer suffers the pains of this world and is with our Heavenly Father. God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

I met Dr Stumpf while he and I were volunteering at Harvest Time International. I was impressed by his kindness and compassion for the patients. I saw him again while we were both volunteering at Shepherd's Hope, showing the same love for those in need. The medical community has lost a great physician. God Speed Dr. Stumpf! I will keep your family in my prayers.

Erik was a dear man of godly character and grace. Truly admired for his love for God and family. He will be greatly missed by many and I for one, was fortunate to have even known him. Even as a young man, he stood above the rest.

We have been blessed to have known you for 48 years and see you grow up to be a wonderful son,husband,Dad and nephew to us. We were fortunate to have you move to Florida after medical school. Got to see Luke as a baby and how proud you were in his great accomplishments in high school and on to college. What a blessing when you and Amy had 2 precious children Ethan and Alli.Oh how happy you were and showed it with that big smile.
We will miss you so much but know you are no longer in pain and resting in God's arms now.Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time..
Love, Aunt Mary and Uncle Charles

Amy, my heart is heavy for you, your children and all of Erik's family and friends. He was such a genuine soul, a sweet and kind man of God, and one who always had a smile on his face! As a member of his church family, I feel blessed to have not only known him as my brother in Christ, but also to have played keyboards with him in worship at Lakeside. He will be greatly missed. Prayers to you all for comfort and peace now and always.

I grieve his loss, and remember his sense of humor, his compassion and kindness, and his will and purpose to serve others less fortunate.

He was a very nice person. I will miss you.

My mom and I know you never get over the loss of a child, no matter what age and circumstance. We feel the sadness and grief you're experiencing and send our deepest condolences. I know he'll be remembered with love always.

Donna and John. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

My family grew up on the same street as the Stumpfs in Williamsville and have fond memories of Erik. May you rest in peace and your family find condolence and comfort in this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Erik's passing. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Amy, his children and his family. I have fond memories of the good person Erik was and his positive outlook on life.

I am very saddened by the passing of Eric Stumpf. May your family be comforted in the life you led, and the kindness you showed.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Stumpf for a very short period of time, but the time spent was a great experience. Dr. Stumpf and I shared birthdays and it was always great to be able to go to his office and have an easy conversation whether it was work related or casual conversations. I was saddened to hear of his passing. You will truly be missed Dr. Stumpf!

Love from all your cousins and brothers in Buffalo,NY.1975
Will miss you Erik

Dr. Stumpf will always be remembered by those who had the pleasure of knowing him, whether for a little while or a lifetime. His kind and humble ways, respect and understanding of others, his soft and comforting smile and his intelligent conversation will be deeply missed. He stood tall, not only because of his physical height, but because of the legacy he leaves in the many lives he touched. My prayers for his family. May they find comfort in knowing that although his time on earth was short, it was well lived and his memory will linger. God now has a plan for him in the heavens.

" Dr. Stumpf, you were amazing.
He had a genuine spirit and kindness for others. A big smile and generous laugher. He was always generous with his time, encouraging, mentoring and sharing knowledge. Always speaks lovingly of his wife and family. Those of us who have crossed his path are truly blessed to have him for the time we shared. Your memory will live on forever"

Erik will be greatly missed by his Lakeside Fellowship family. He shared his love of God with all, always with a kind word and a broad smile. He leaves behind a legacy of service to many organizations. Our deepest sympathy to the Stumpf family. May the love Erik had for each of you and the memories you shared bring you comfort and peace. Our prayers and love for all of you. Rest In Peace, Erik.

I shared a meal with Erik, John, and Donna at a FAFP meeting in the recent past. That event felt like going from being acquaintances to friends. Family connections are so important, and I know you will all support each other during this time. In my heart I am with you.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Stumpf. I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with Dr Stumpf at Prestige Health Choice a few years ago. He is remembered for his gentleness, warm friendly smiles and was always very approachable. He will be missed! RIP Dr Stumpf-The Lord is pleased with the many lives you have touched while you were with us. I pray your family will be strengthen with God's Love and His Peace.

Sending my condolences and peaceful thoughts to Erik Stumpf's family and friends.

Donna and John,
My sister Lori told me of the news of Erik's passing. While I never really knew him, other than babysitting (which Lori did many times) you, Donna, and your sisters, have been so much a part of our family's lives,that I wanted to reach out to you, and all your family during this difficult time. It looks like he accomplished a great deal during his time here, although to brief. You must be so proud!
My heartfelt condolences to you, his wife and his children.
I Think of you more than you will know and you are always in my heart.
Most Sincerely,
John Wiltberger

Here is a light to add to the powerful light you already have. I will always remember you entering the office doors almost touching the top frame of the door with your head and holding in your arms together with your computer these huge red baskets full of all kinds of goodies, made by Amy, for my birthdays, even though my birthday had passed, and Christmases. You were always so thoughtful, respectful, kind, understanding, patient and I could continue. It was like working with my son. I wish you would have let me assist you also with the heavy weight you had on your shoulders somehow, someway. Now, I know that you were brave as well. I don't have enough words to express to Amy, your children, parents and brothers how sorry I am that you had to go so soon. I can tell them though that you loved them all, was so very proud of them and would beam with love and happiness every time you showed me their pictures or talked about them. The Orlando office team will always miss you. Your AA

I am not surprised to read so many heartfelt entries about this very great man. Erik was a great friend and true brother to me and over the years I have watched him touch many lives. I am comforted in my assurance that Erik is in glory, but my heart and prayers go out to his beautiful family--that they would find real comfort and peace, and that they would so live their lives as to make them a tribute to this great man. We will miss you, kind Sir!

Erik was a wonderful man, a terrific husband, and a great father. I was blessed to have him as a friend and glad to have known him. He was kind to everyone he met and will be greatly missed.

Eric was a good friend. He had a heart of compassion and grace that mirrored that of Christ. He had a beautiful voice and I will never forget times of praise and worship with him. May the Lord bless and comfort his family and loved ones. We've lost a great man and heaven has gained a worshipper.

I have many fond memories of Erik growing up in Williamsville. Often it involved playing football on the front lawn, going to Bible School, swimming, sleep overs, or everybody riding their bikes to school. He was my brother's best friend. Erik was kind and caring person and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out your family.

Christ love for his disciple Erik, a man of strength and perseverance! A leader in his family to love God as no other. Erik is a blessing to me and I am flooded with wonderful memories of growing up in Buffalo, New York and the precious time spent together with his beautiful family at the Schultz Reunions. We have you in our prayers of God's love, comfort, & understanding.
With sympathy & love - Cousin Michele and Family

Dr. Erik Stumpf was a highly motivating force to all of us who had the honor of knowing him and working with him at Prestige Health Choice. He was an intelligent, highly principled and compassionate person, always made the staff feel like he was completely approachable on any subject. He was so proud of his beautiful wife and children, his face just beamed when he spoke of them or showed us their pictures. He set an example for us all at Prestige, his motivating force in his work with Prestige and the Network was not out of self-pride, but rather was because he believed so strongly in this Plan's mission. My heart and prayers go out to his family, such a profound loss. I pray that God's grace will give them the strength and faith they need going forward.

Dr. Stumpf's family,

We at Prestige valued and respected Dr. Stumpf so much. His input and feedback were always so thoughtful, and he always had a kind word. He shared his knowledge across departments and staffing levels and I can personally say I benefitted greatly from knowing him. Anyone who can pick another Upstate New Yorker out in a crowd will always be appreciated by me! You'll be greatly missed, kind sir.

Dr. Stumpf was a beloved member of the Prestiage Orlando family and will be missed by all who knew him. He made everyone feel special with his kindness. May he RIP and God bless his family and friends as they cope with there loss.

I was blessed to work with Dr. Stumpf for a short time at Prestige and to have met his family. He was a very spiritual man who showed compassion for his patients and his coworkers. I'm heart broken to hear of his passing and for his family and praying that they will find comfort in knowing that he is now with God but will always be in the hearts of those lives he touched. Praying for Gods peace and comfort for all those grieving at this difficult time.

Dr. Erik Stumpf was an encourager and an advocate for the nurses who worked closely with him. He was willing to extend himself to the nurses that he worked with. He was so kind. I learned much from him, and I knew that he was willing to share his medical knowledge with us. It was exhilarating learning from him because he was so down to earth, giving medical information to us right on the spot about a diagnosis/treatment, with which we were unfamiliar. He would attend our monthly Case Management meetings and immediately give us feedback. I appreciated his involvement. He even used to call me on my phone and E-mail me when there was an ongoing concern for a patient. Dr. Stumpf listened to what I said and he read what I wrote, assisting me as a Case Manager, with more than one patient and personally facilitating the process of getting patients set- up for doctors that see patients in their home. He will be missed by those of who experienced the kindness of this wonderful Physician.

Dr. Stumpf will be missed greatly - his love for God and family, his warmth, quick smile and genuineness. He is rejoicing in the presence of Jesus. I pray that God Bless & Comfort his family.
