Eric was a well liked and very adorable member of the Bronx High School of Science Class of 1958 and we are saddened by his passing. He will always live in the memories of his old high school friends.

I had the pleasure of knowing Eric through my employment at Swarthmore College. He was always laughing and every time he would call, he would tease about the best place to get a cheesesteak in South Philly. I am honored to have known him and my sincere condolences to his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with Eric's family. I knew Eric when he was the President of PolyGram Records back in the day and I was a legal assistant at PolyGram Holding, Inc. Eric was a well respected, smart man and he always smiled.
