Bruce "Boog" Erickson, #74
"May your Spartan spirit burn in us all..."

Dear Carol and family, I was so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. My prayers are with you all at this time. His smile will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are for Bruce "Boog" Erickson, his family, and friends. I still cherrish all the great memories with Boog from High School. Boog has saved me more times than I can count on the football field and I still have his Mother's Edison High School cap.

Boog I mourn the passing of my best friend and cannot wait until we are all together again. To all of the Erickson family I am so sorry it is very hard when one of the good guys leaves us so soon and I am very sorry I could not be with you during this time. I will be in touch and look forward to talking about all of the good times with Boog when I am up this summer.

Dear Carol,Kyle,Scott,Leann and the Erickson Family,

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Ed,Jill(Mashanic),Dan and Craig Kreisler

My thoughts and prayers are with you

deepest condolences and sincere sympathy

My condolences to the Erickson Family. Bruce was a wonderful person and will be missed by many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sympathy to all the Erickson family anyone who knew Bruce, knows what a great person he was and will be missed. I know this classmate is deeply saddened.

The Erickson Family,

I am very sad to hear of Boog's passing. A Husband, Father, Son, Freind and a true Gentleman. These are just a few words to describe this wonderful man. He will be missed and remembered by many and forgot by none. May God Bless.

My deepest sympathy to all of you - it's been many years since I worked with the family at Servomation, but I remember what a nice guy Bruce was. So sorry for your loss.

To The Erickson Family,

My deepest condolences to you at such a sad time. God Bless.

Dear Don and Dona,

My heart just sunk when I heard about Bruce. The first memory that popped into my head was when many of Boog's classmates traipsed through your house in our prom attire after his track practice incident. I moved far away so I didn't know Bruce's wife or children. Just by reading a few comments I know that Bruce never changed. He raised his children with the same compassion and gift of time and fun as you did yours. We bid our farewell much too soon.

love & prayers,

I didn't know Bruce well, but know that he raised great kids and had an wonderful wife. My heart goes out to you all. You're in my prayers.

Bruce and family has always been wonderful neighbors and good friends.We will deeply miss seeing Bruce out around and the nice friendly chats with him.Our deepest love for Carol and the family. Your neighbors across the street Bob and Sue Green

Carol and family,
Words cannot describe the saddness we feel for you, our hearts ache with yours. You are in our prayers.
Joe and Theresa Duffy

Carol and family, One never knows what to say at times like these. There really are no words that can console the loss you must all be feeling, along with the shock of a life cut so short.
I have not seen Boog much since high school, but my husband had the pleasure and privilege of working with him on the "Hill" for many years. My memories are of a kind hearted, considerate soul, which is a consistent theme throughout these many entries. It is apparent how much he was loved and respected by so many people in so many venues. It is also quite obvious to all who were blessed to know him, what a wonderful father, coach, colleague and husband he was. That legacy will live on in his children, and the many children he coached over the years. Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers during this most difficult time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr & Mrs Erickson,
My heart goes out to all of you during this horrible chapter in your lives. Though I only grew to know Bruce during the short time that Karen and I worked together, it was easy to see how much he loved and was loved in return. I got to experience that warm heart first hand when several years ago one of my deer that he had made was stolen from our front yard at Christmas time during an Elmira College scavenger hunt. I contacted him to ask if he would be able to make another one for me some time for the next year. I was in total shock when he called within a week to say it was done already. What was even more shocking was when I went to pick 'her' up, Bruce refused to take any money, saying how sad he thought it was that someone would take her right out of our yard. I know this was only one of those million tiny steps that carried him to heaven to be with our Lord.
I pray for your peace of mind and heart. May the good Lord carry you through and lift you up during your low moments. With love ~~~

CAROL AND FAMILY LINDA AND I ARE SO SORRY FOR YOR LOSS.BOOG WAS A GREAT OFFICER AND ONE YOU COULD COUNT ON AT ANY TIME.WE ALL SHARED MANY GOOD TIMES.BOOG WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME.MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS.

Carol and Erickson Family,

We are so sorry to hear this news. You all will be in our prayers. Boog was a wonderful person!

With each and every day, we pray that you find peace and comfort knowing that Bruce (Boog) and the Good Lord are watching over each one of you.

Words will never express my thoughts enough! Men can only strive to be honest, hardworking,caring, and be a good friend, father,and husband. Bruce truly was all those things naturally! Carol you will always be able to relive both of your values and as your three children show the same morals of life that Bruce did. We'll miss him always! A TRULY GOOD MAN!

To the Erickson family: Bruce was a great guy...one who always made you laugh. A great co-worker and friend. May God welcome him into Heaven, and comfort you during this difficult time. God bless Bruce and all of the Erickson family.

To the Erickson Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I had the privilege of working with Bruce on the "HILL" from 1996 to 2002. Bruce was an excellent C.O. who could be counted on to do an exemplary job. Bruce was a better human being. We had many discussions about his involvement in youth sports and how he enjoyed it. Bruce will be missed by all.

carol im sorry about ur lose u will be in my prayers

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.He was a wonderful guy and will be missed by alot of people.

My condolances go out to the Erickson family. I had the privelege of working with Bruce at ECF as a fellow officer and more recently as his supervisor. He was one of the best officers I have ever worked with. I know I speak for the entire staff at ECF when I say, he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a teddy bear of a man. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Carol and family, Mr and Mrs Erickson and Karen and Sibs, you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sudden and unexpected sadness.

WOW, I can't believe it. Bruce was the best. My best year coaching was at EFA for Scott's senior baseball season and will never forget the help and support that Bruce gave me. He was one of those people that you never forget when you met them because they do just about everything thinking of others before themself. Bruce was one of those guys. He will be missed by so many.

Scott and Carol, and the whole Erickson family, find comfort in knowing that Bruce left this world in a lot better shape than it was in when he found it. Clearly the mark that he left on the lives of many will be his legacy that will live on forever. My most sincere and heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
