I was so saddened to learn of Dr Ermini's death today almost a year ago. He was my doctor 2002 - 2004 time frame, even doing a cancer surgery procedure. By the grace of God and his skills, I am still here. Such wonderful person and fine doctor. May God bless him and his family.

He was a kind individual, he did surgery on my then 1 year old son back in October of last year, to correct a birth defect due to my son being premature. He was a great surgeon. He will be missed.

Ed was the first friend I made when I moved to NC. He saw me at Black Water Grill yelling at the hockey game during playoff season. My Detroit Redwings were playing and I was so into the game, I almost forgot I was in public. Ed sat down next to me and we talked hockey the rest of the night. I'll always remember my first NC friend and he will always be dearly missed. Rest in God's hands my friend!

Ed and I attended medical school together and had lost touch unitl a few years ago. He was kind enough to share his expertise in the changing field of medical informatics with me. I know he will be greatly missed by his family and patients for his kind compassionate nature as well as his knowledge and skills.

Our Sincere condolences, our family and this world have lost a very talented and caring young man. Cuz you will be missed but the memories of the summers and times when we were young will never be forgotten.
