Very sorry to lern of Eric's passing. In his position of V.P. of Manufacturing, Eric was my boss, mentor, and friend at Abex for several years. Serving under Eric as plant manager of the Salisbury plant, I was most appreciative of his honesty and his sharing of his leadership and manufacturing skills. I have many memories of Eric.

I left a previous message that did not show. I made a mistake. Erich would have forgiven me. Our sympathies to the family and especially Phyllis. She and Erich gave us some of our best memories of Corporate America. Most of all he was a friend.
