Eric A. Buisch
ARKPORT-Eric A. Buisch, 50, of Bishopville Road (Town of Hornellsville), passed away unexpectedly Monday (Oct. 1, 2018).
Born in Hornell on Nov. 11, 1967, he was the son of Adrian Buisch, who predeceased him and Rosalie (Libordi) Tobin who survives.
A life long resident of the Hornell area, Eric was a graduate of Hornell High School, class of 1985. He also graduated from Corning Community College and received his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Elmira College in 1993.
He was previously employed as a Service Coordinator of Steuben Arc in Bath and was presently employed as the Community Relations Coordinator at Elderwood at Hornell; he also served as a Hornellsville Town Justice.
Eric was a communicant of St. Mary’s Church in Canaseraga and was involved with the Boy Scouts with his son Evan. He was also very passionate about cars and was an active member of the Sporty Car Club. Eric was a huge fan of Watkins Glen International, Bruce Springsteen, the Buffalo Bills, the Buffalo Sabres and the NY Yankees.
He enjoyed spending time with his family cruising in his Mustang GT, traveling (especially to the Outer Banks), camping, snow shoeing and watching his children participate in athletics. Eric will be remembered as being a very sociable person who loved to talk to people and share with them his witty personality.
His loving family includes his wife of 21 years the former Laura Johnson, who he married at St. Mary’s Church in Bath on Oct. 11, 1997; his daughter, Elizabeth Buisch and his son, Evan Buisch both at home; his mother and step-father, Rosalie and John Tobin of Hornell; his three brothers, Mark (Kelly) Buisch of Hornell, Geoffrey Buisch of the State of Washington and Adrian (Kristin) Buisch of Rochester; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Allan and Maureen Johnson of Bath; as well as his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I met Eric in Albany when we both took the Bench at the same time. He was a wonderful man.
So sorry to hear this. Rosalie, may you and your family be comforted by one another.
Dear Family – I am so very sorry for your sudden loss of kind Eric. He was a kind, friendly and positive part of our Community Relations Coordinator (CRC) team.
You are in my prayers at this very difficult time.
Most kindly, Mave Milligan
Eternal rest, my man.
Buisch family, I am so sorry, so sorry.
God be with you all, at this time.
Hon. Eric Buisch was a pleasure to be around at all times but I would like to speak to his times in Court. He was kind, thoughtful and fair with all who appeared in his court. I appeared there frequently and I feel that my clients and the Attorneys that appeared on any case, were treated with the utmost respect and fairness regardless of the circumstances of the case. In a local court we know we have a good judge if citizens can walk away knowing they were listened to, and treated fairly, regardless of the outcome. This was Judge Buisch, We will miss him and his even hand in the court system. We were fortunate to have his service. God bless him, his family and please God lift him up on eagles wings!
Laura…I am so sorry for your loss. Sending thougts and prayers for you and your family.
To My friend Eric. It has been some time since we have seen each other in person. I only talked to you on the phone less than 2 weeks ago. I wish that I could have told you that I loved you like a brother. We shared many good times in High school and while attending Corning Community College together. I will miss you my friend. I am sorry I was not able to say goodbye in person, but will remember you always. I love you Eric. Rest in peace.
Your friend always,
Mike (Smitty) Smith
Couldn’t make it to calling hours or funeral. I worked with Eric at ARC. He was a terrific guy. My heart goes out to all of you. He will be missed
