Eric graduated from North High School in Denver and the University of Colorado at Boulder. He enjoyed a long career as a Certified Financial Planner, helping many save for retirement. Although he officially retired in 2004, he continued his second career he had begun in the 90’s as a Holocaust educator, speaking to tens of thousands of students and others across the country.
Eric is preceded in death by his parents, Julius and Johanna; sister, Zilla; and daughter, Michelle.
He is survived by his wife, Jane; sons Jeff (Barbara) and Kevin; Jeff’s mother and Eric’s former spouse, Neva; grandson, Ryan; and nieces, nephews, and friends.
The family will be holding a private memorial service in the future to celebrate his life and legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to the Holocaust Awareness Institute at the University of Denver.
