Eric Francis Woolf, age 53, passed away Monday, February 13, 2012, in Atlanta, Georgia from complications of radiation and chemotherapy. Eric was predeceased by his mother, Mildred A. "Millie" Woolf, his maternal grandparents, Al & Lil Weinberg, his paternal grandparents, Abe & Betty Woolf, and his aunts, Nancy Weinberg Mayes & Judy Weinberg Widerman.

Other survivors include uncles Bob Mayes (Diane), and Fred Widerman (Gayle), numerous nephews, cousins, and a large extended family throughout the southeastern United States.

Eric's love of the outdoors led him into umpiring girl's softball for many years in Atlanta. The American Softball Association named him it's outstanding umpire in 2005. Recent outdoors joys were achieved in kayaking the Chattahoochee River on as many weekends as possible.
