Mr. Malamug or as Uncle Eras as he was known to everyone was a sweet, kind, loving, and gentle man. Always willing to talk to anyone for hours on end.

In 1969, he immigrated to Newark, N.J. in the United States. He obtained a position as Bookkeeper in Newark in a Five & Dime store for a number of years then worked as an Accountant at the Mart Furniture Gallery in Union for twenty-five years.

A devout grandfather always willing to take his grandkids out for ice cream. The joy and laughter he brought around to his grandkids and other people will surely be missed.
