Dear Rick, Erin, and Family,
I am so sorry for all of you, for you (and we) have lost a gentle and caring soul. I will always remember my time with him at Richmond School, where his kindness, politeness, and gentleness were recognized by all of us. And I watched as, over his young years, his grandfather developed in Eric an over-the-top love for skiing. Rick, your love for skiing was truly infectious and I will always know that you gifted Eric with your time, love, and enthusiasm in such a way that this winter sport became an important part of Eric's future life. Eric, for me, was the complete package. I watched a shy young boy grow into a confident and active young man who managed to also embrace life in a caring and loving way. We have lost a very special person, to be sure. My love to all of you.

Ashley Ethier
