Just found out that Eric Tomko has passed away in a motor vehicle accident. Eric, the kid from up the street. My first friend in High School after moving to Lawrenceville, the guy through whom I met everybody else I knew. Eric, the guy who didn’t make fun of my accent UNTIL AFTER I LOST IT, but then he made sure I knew how funny I sounded. We drifted apart after High School, but I never forgot the times we had . So many parties, oh so many blurry memories. Dammit. My heartfelt condolences to your family, Eric.

RIP Eric Tomko. Football, drinking, laughing, learning, now missing. You were one of a kind brother.
