Reprinted from thedailyreview.com Teen killed in Sullivan County crash BY ERIC HRIN (Staff Writer)Published: May 29, 2011 Review File Photo Curtis H. Eberlin The Sullivan County School District is mourning the tragic loss of a senior. State police at Laporte said Curtis H. Eberlin, 18, of Nordmont Road, Muncy Valley, was killed in a fatal crash at 7:47 p.m. May 27 at 3500 Nordmont Rd., Davidson Township, Sullivan County. He was an integral part of the high school soccer team for the last four years, Sullivan County High School Principal Craig Skaluba said. According to police, Eberlin was driving a blue 1972 Porsche 914 and the crash occurred as he was traveling east on Nordmont Road. Police said Eberlin lost control of his vehicle on a curve, causing it to leave the north edge of the road and strike a tree on the driver's side, causing major damage to the vehicle, police said. Police said Eberlin sustained fatal injuries at the scene and was wearing a seatbelt. Skaluba said the administration and grief counselors were at the school on Saturday to ease the students' grief. He said about seven students showed up. More counseling will take place Tuesday and the students have a phone number to call for assistance in dealing with the loss, he added. "We're trying to focus on the health, safety and welfare of all the kids and move forward," he said. "We're trying to go from mourning his loss to celebrating his life." Eberlin was a senior getting ready to graduate on June 3. In addition, he was captain of the boys varsity soccer team, and was on his fourth year on the soccer team. Throughout his youth, he played with the American Youth Soccer Organization. Also, he was a member of the High School History Club and participated this year in Yearbook and varsity baseball, Skaluba said. Recently, Eberlin was recognized in an assembly for his teamwork in helping to successfully complete Volume 48 of The Highlander, the school's yearbook, Skaluba said. Eberlin was also honored recently at the spring sports banquet for earning a varsity letter as a starter on the boys varsity baseball team, he said. "Basically, he was well liked and respected by the students and the staff," he said. "He always had a smile on his face and was a good kid and a joy to be around." He had a fun, good-spirited nature, Skaluba said. The school district is discussing options to honor Eberlin at graduation at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 3 at the high school.

I found an old 914 RennList posting - it's definitely the same guy. Tom was a valuable member of the 914 RennList community.
QUOTE Tom Eberlin wife Bonnie, children Stevie married now to Jamie McCarty, son's Matthew and Curtis. A couple of 914's a 911SC a 924 and lots of projects. I've already PM'd my message to '73-914kid and encourage you all to take advantage of a group member stepping up to take the lead on this for us. If there's anything I, personally, can do to help a community member (Tom and his family) let me know. |
