John Richard Ermacoff

John Richard Ermacoff was born on January 3, 1943, in San Francisco. John was a Liberal, Union man who loved the Raiders.

Anyone who knew him knew John was a hard worker. He started working summers 15 for the Redwood City School District, planting redwood trees at Sequoia High and Woodside High to earn money to buy school clothes.

John joined the Plumbers Union when he was 18 as an apprentice plumber earning .99 cents an hour. The next year he married his high school sweetheart Robin Garner. He was Dad to Sandee Renee (Greg Cox), John Richard ll (Kateryna), and James Robert Ermacoff. His goal was to make life happy and comfortable for them. John loved being a Dad.

Football was a Sunday afternoon MUST to cheer on the Raiders. John loved the Raiders from the first year they were created until they moved to Las Vegas. When they moved from Oakland to Las Vegas, it was over. THE END !!!!

His home was a revolving door for various people who needed a place to stay for a while. If you needed a “leg up.” John’s home would find room for you.

John loved traveling to Europe and beyond. He took each of his adult children on a cruise. Sandee went to Greece, John to Russia, and Jim traveled to Germany and the Netherlands with his Dad making lasting memories together.
