Not a day goes by that you’re not thought of, talked about or something reminds me of you. You’re still the best brother in law ever and I miss you like crazy. I didn’t get enough time with you. I love you Eric!

Thinking of you, Eric and family. I've always had a connection with Eric. I am reminded of him every November, since we share that birthday month. He died the same year my son was born. And, the Christmas season begins with his memory in my heart. I am so grateful for the time you opened your home and lives to me. That experience lives within me with fondness and love. I love you all like my own.

Eric, its hard to believe its been 7 years. No words can express how missed you truly are. Youre thought of all of the time, and I sure wish Aubrey Hope wouldve had the chance to meet and get to know her Uncle Eric.

Eric, You my friend will live on. Like everyone close to you I also feel that the time you spent with us was far to short. I will truly miss having you by my side, you were the best friend anyone could ask for. You were always an ear to listen, the person I went to for advice. Our children will grow up together, I can only hope that they can form the lifelong bond that we formed nearly 30 years ago. I was lucky to have a best friend for so long. I know if there is a heaven you are there, finally without pain looking down on us. I look forward to the day that I see your smiling face again, but until then I will live my life as to make you proud. Rest easy until the day we can again embrace as friends, as brothers. I love you. My love goes to the entire Rudin family I will share the love I have in my heart for Eric with you.

Eric, you had a presence about you and a bright smile that just always lit up a room. Your magnetic personality full of kindness, sincerity, humor, love and humility attracted all that you came in contact with. You are so loved and admired by all that knew you. I wish I had a chance to see you one last time and say goodbye. May you rest in peace, watching over your sweet, beautiful family.

Angela, Emily, Evan, Ryan and Collin- May you feel Eric's presence in your everyday life. Eric not only lives in your memories but he also will also be there to love and support you spiritually.

...it is so very hard to find words to comfort all of you in this time of agonizing sorrow and grief. Eric you have shown us courage, strength and love in the way you led your life. You have left behind your lovely wife Angela and your beautiful children. What a wonderful legacy. You will be with us in each of your children every day. We know that you will be there to watch over and guide your children through life and to help Angela find the strength to carry on. Our love and prayers go out to Rick, Liz, Mary and Jewel that you all have the strength to carry on...I hope that the love of your family and friends may comfort you now and always. My heart aches that this world will be without a wonderful man, son, brother, husband and father. Knowing the closeness, love and strength of the Rudin Family...you can make it through this together. Know that our love surrounds you. With our deepest sympathy, Mickey and Carolyn ( Chemerka)

Our deepest sympathies to the Rudin family! Eric was a strong and loving friend! We may have lost a beautiful person but have gained a beautiful angel! May he rest in peace always!

December 12, 2012

Eric's laugh and smile are a part of my memories of growing up in Lebanon. It is absolutely heart-breaking to hear of his death and know the family he leaves behind. Perhaps the one silver lining is the amazing woman he choose to be his wife, who will without a doubt raise his beautiful and remarkable children in a way that serves as a tribute to his life. Wishing everyone peace in the days, months and years to come.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
Until we meet again, my friend
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love You Always Buddy

Eric, you will be missed every second of every day. We will not forget you. Our Hearts are heavy. We Love You.

December 12, 2012

Eric was never my student at Lyman, but we often chatted and laughed in the hall. He was friendly, open and funny. I will always warmly remember his huge smile and his group of friends, hanging out together, being goofy and loving life. My husband joins me in wishing the Rudin family peace, love and strength to carry on without Eric's physical presence. It was amazing to watch how very loved Eric was in his old Lebanon community of friends-such a tribute to a life well lived. He will always be remembered. In deepest sympathy to you, Angela, and your children, as well as to Eric's parents. We are very sad for your tragic loss of a son, husband and father. God Bless all of you and keep you strong. Sincerely, Lucy and Maurice Simard

Eric you were a super special guy, you always had the BIGGEST smile, and the LOVE you had for Angela and your four beautiful children amazes me. You and Angela are like a fairy tail. The strength and courage you both have is so strong and power. I know you will take Angela's hand and walk her through this... watching closely over your children, your parents and your sisters. Rest in peace Eric, you will be missed very much from soo many... I love you Bud

Eric... Looking back at all the times we meant to get together and never did weighs on my heart. I have been inspired by your wife, Angela to prioritize & appreciate every moment with the ones I love... I see that she has so much love in her heart and I have faith that she will stay strong to guide your beautiful babies through life.

I tried to tell you when I laid in bed with you days ago, but could only seem to tell you I love you… I am so very grateful to have had you when I randomly came to live with you... That was such a crazy and dark time in my life and having you made me feel connected to someone in a world of unknown faces & empty places. You helped make it a place of exciting adventures and playful fun. To this day, I keep our memories in my heart and remain close to some of the friends we shared.

I love that I got to be apart of your upbringing and family... I have become ever so grateful to them for taking me in. As I look back from where I am now in life, I view it as a selfless act of love- to take in a lost child in hopes of a better life. I had a lot to learn still, but the love I felt remains in my heart. You all touched it and became a piece of it: Auntie Liz, Unckie Rick, Mary & Jewel... I wish that I could help carry the burden; relieve some of the pain.

I love you.

Learn to smile once more,
Heaven we all meet again.
