Eric James Roussos age 41 passed away peacefully on Sunday July 6th at Westchester Medical Center following a long illness. Eric was born on December 14th, 1983, to Anthony and Christine Roussos at Bon Secours Community Hospital.
Exceptionally driven, Eric graduated from Port Jervis High School and went on to earn his master's degree in business administration from Franklin University. Throughout Eric's life he maintained various positions in healthcare. Most recently, Eric held a position as a Workforce Management Analyst with Orlando Health where he was adored by his colleagues.
Truly accomplished in every endeavor Eric was an avid outdoorsman. Hunting and fishing were his true passions. A lifelong JETS fan Eric cheered his team on every Sunday without fail. The only thing Eric loved more than "his team" was his beautiful family.
Eric met his wife Erin in early 2010 and they were instantly inseparable. Married a few years later they settled into everyday life. As their family grew Eric worked hard to provide a wonderful life for his wife and children. "Eric's greatest joy was our family."

Back in 2001, I had the pleasure of meeting Eric in our business math class. We learned that we would be working in the hospital kitchen with each other. Little did I know that Eric would be training me. I learned so much from him. He was knowledgeable, hilarious, and friendly. We quickly became friends and regularly hung out nearly every weekend. I have a tremendous memory bank filled with countless funny and amusing times. He made your work day feel like you were passing the time so fast. I can thank him for filling the garbage cans with water from the loading dock hose, throwing food at me in the dishroom, scolding me for being too slow at "breaking down" the food trays, and teaching me to work smarter, not harder. He will always be remembered for his infectious laugh, genuine character, and laughing until you cried. Sending my deepest condolences to Eric's family and friends. We all lost the kindest soul far too soon. Rest peacefully. It was an honor to be your friend.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends that have been impacted by the loss of Eric. I worked alongside Eric years ago at the hospital. His patience, kindness and eagerness to help others is what I remember most... AND he was also the fastest person to throw together a dinner tray! Having him around made going to work a good time. I´m so sorry for the loss.
