Uncle Eric you will truly be missed. You were like a father to me always making sure that I was okay. You taught be how to take care of my car and specifically how to check and change my oil. You would always talk to me up at my grandparents house, checking in on me about school and other things. Thanks for being an intricate part of my life. Love you and will miss you dearly.

Our hearts are heavy upon hearing of the passing of Eric. We extend our sympathy to Eric's family. Eric will truly be missed. As a bejeweled artist, he was very expressive with the paint brush. He also was a aficionado of old school jazz music as well . He was very much part of that area.

Will miss you, bro.
