Eric Schoen with Tony Bennett
We regret to inform our readers on the passing of Yonkers Rising and Yonkerstimes.com feature columnist Eric Schoen. Eric was in rehab for the past year. He fought the good fight and is now no longer in pain. He passed away on Nov. 9.
In my travels around Yonkers, the first thing I heard from readers picking up our paper is how much they love Eric Schoen’s column. Lately they have been asking how Eric was doing and how they hoped and prayed for his recovery and eventual return.
I have many thoughts on the passing of my friend and colleague and will put something together with all of his Yonkers friends.
