Eric Franklin Pavlak, 50, of East Longmeadow passed away unexpectedly November 13, 2022. Born April 24, 1972 in Southampton, NY, he was a son to Edmund Pavlak and the late Joan (Peterson) Pavlak. He was a graduate of Westhampton Beach High School and Springfield Technical Community College.

Eric proudly served our country with the United States Marine Corps for six years and was the founder and owner of Non-Profit Technology Assurance Group, a company that assisted local non-profits with managing their Information Technology. He leaves behind his wife of 19 years, Jeannine (Boisvert) Pavlak. Eric always wanted a big family and he was blessed to have five children Thomas Francis Burns IV and his wife, Anneliese, Allyson Marie Burns, Caitlin Nichole Pavlak, Ethan Robert Pavlak and Anna Leigh Pavlak.

Eric will be remembered by his family for his lightening quick wit, his extremely detailed explanations, his love for all things Ireland, his adoration for his border collie, Molly and his love for his wife, Jeannine.

Staring Into the Past

In addition to potatoes, carrots grow well in Sagaponack. Our soil type can sustain their thirsty character while letting that long, singular, sweet tap root seek itself deep and straight into the dirt.
