November 6, 2023

Click here to watch Live Stream Eric Tellefsen, 57, of Manasquan, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Saturday, November 4, 2023, after a protracted battle with illness arising from the cancer treatments that saved his life some 20 years earlier. Eric was born in Teaneck, NJ and raised in New Jersey, the son of Gerald Tellefsen and Joan L. Veronelli. He spent his summers in Long Beach Island, and later moved to Monmouth County. He is a graduate of Northern Valley Old Tappan Regional High School and Muhlenberg College, where he was a member of the ZBT fraternity. After graduating from college Eric went to work in various technology roles on Wall Street, spending over 19 years at Lehman Brothers. On September 11, 2001, Eric was at his desk on the 38th floor of World Trade Center One, getting the day started early at Lehman, when he felt the impact of the plane hit the building. Like many others, he made it out of the building and shared his firsthand escape story from the WTC and NY with anyone who was interested to hear it. Two years after 9/11 Eric was diagnosed with Stage 4 testicular cancer. In true Tellefsen style, and in the best shape of his life, Eric conquered cancer after contending with treatments that would eventually, 20 years later, lead to his early passing. In addition to these challenges, Eric was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited retinal disease that eventually caused Eric to be legally blind. Despite these challenges, Eric continued to demonstrate a positive zest for life and was always willing to share his struggles and life-affirming successes with anyone who asked. In March 2008, Eric married his beloved wife Mary Ellen Georgas, and together in 2010 they purchased and managed The Sea Spray Inn in Ocean Grove, NJ, growing it into a highly rated and popular bed and breakfast, with a loyal clientele, several of whom became their cherished friends. Eric brought joy, laughter, and great breakfasts to all who visited the Sea Spray Inn and made long-term friends with many of the guests. Eric was a lifelong beach lover spending every summer of his life at the Jersey Shore from Surf City to Ocean Grove to Manasquan. Eric is survived by his loving family: wife Mary Ellen, father Gerald Tellefsen and step mother Joan Trude Tellefsen of St. Petersburg, FL, sisters Jill McClean and her husband Brian of Myrtle Beach, SC, and Lynn Tellefsen Stehle and her husband Doug Stehle of Bradley Beach.
