My heart is broken at the tragic end to a singular person who was always so equanimous to all events, encounters and adventures. In his quiet and easy way he was a friend to all; be they human, canine, feline, particularly he had open arms to any he caught of the scaly variety. He had an infectious grin that I will never forget, which signaled his intention to enjoy life and invited everyone to join in. Eric was a love, and I am grateful I met Sue as a mother-to-be on Banks, as we welcomed our first born sons to their sweet childhood homes in Houston. We were blessed to renew the relationship with Eric and his family on dear Locke Lane. Kyle has very fond memories of Eric and our hearts go out to all the family during this terrible time. We keep you in our prayers and will forever keep Eric in our hearts.
