Our beloved Eric Frank Grosse, Jr., EdD- Beeker to those who loved him - brought immense joy and laughter to everyone around him with his unique sense of humor. He leaves an irreplaceable void. He valued spending time with family more than anything, traveling across the country and around the globe to visit children, grandchildren, siblings and cousins. A close second was his unwavering dedication to education, in which his family hopes his legacy will live on in the thousands of students he taught throughout his lifetime. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years Linda; his two devoted children Aaron (Stacilyn) and Sara; grandchildren Harrison and Charlotte, the greatest joys in his life; his 5 younger siblings Christine, Julia, Michael, Susan, Paul, and their families; and his sisters-in-law Nancy, Diane (Chris) and their sons. Given how suddenly he was taken from us, we can only imagine he’s thinking what he always did when one of his sports teams was losing: ‘That’s it, game over.' Instead, we'd like to think ‘until we meet again…somewhere over the rainbow.’

The family will be holding a private ceremony at a later date. To honor Eric’s love of students and teaching, most recently at Montgomery College, the family requests that donations be sent in memory of Eric Grosse to
