Eric Fitzgerald Toland


Eric had a rare spirit of purpose, poise, preparedness, process, and pleasantry.  Always wearing a smile, he loved to make people laugh.  His deeds and impact in the lives of others will forever echo in history.  Eric possessed a gentle nature and was a man who could make friends anywhere he went.  The legacy he left behind is one kindness, hard work, and a keen sense of humor.  Eric served with many organizations including the National Alliance of Black Interpreters Inc. (NAOBI), the National Alliance of Black Interpreters-Atlanta Chapter (NAOBI-Atlanta, Inc.), the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA), Atlanta Black Deaf Advocates (ABDA), and the International Institute of the Deaf Services (IIDS).
