Eric David Boerner dies

Eric David Boerner passed away on Friday, Sept. 8, 2006, in Seven Fields, Pa., at the age of 38.

(His father is a retiree of the BJ editorial department and was a former news editor.)

Eric was a very private, gentle soul and a wonderful son and brother. He loved photography, with flowers being his favorite subject matter, and he was a consummate student.

He is survived by his parents, David and Phyllis Boerner; his brothers, Trent and Troy; his uncle and aunt, Don and Sharon Boerner; and cousins, Laura Boerner Smith (Jon) and Kevin Boerner (Robin).

We are so grateful for his all-too-brief presence in our lives.

Eric was a graduate of Cuyahoga Falls High School, Case Western Reserve University, and the University of California at San Diego, where he earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees in physics. He was employed by the Seagate Research Center in Pittsburgh, where he was involved with researching computer hard drive storage capabilities.

His family is planning an opportunity to celebrate Eric's life at a date in the future. For those who would like to remember him in a tangible way, the family suggests a contribution in Eric's name to United Disability Services, 701 S. Main St., Akron, Ohio 44311-1019, in care of Lisa Armstrong.
