Eric Leonard (Hack) Brolin was my uncle, the brother of my mother (Hildur) and I want to say that he will by missed by all who had the great good fortune to know him. His immediate family will miss him I am sure, however, my deepest condolences go out to Lori DeLisio, Eric Brolin's life companion for the past thirteen (13) years. While not acknowledged in the formal obituary, Lori and Eric were inseparable in their life together. Eric was warmly accepted and embraced by Lori's immediate and extended family as their "Pops" and I am sure that they are mourning him deeply.
