We have all three loved Eric Greenhow for more than 30 years, since the first time we met him and Becky on Appletree Drive in Media. He was always kind and gentle, with an infinite understanding of, and tolerance for, human foibles. And yet he was never self-righteous or pretentious, but simply warm and human, with a constant twinkle in his eye. I have never known a better man, and he will be very much missed. - Love to Becky and Andy,

Eric was a prince, a scholar, and a true gentleman who always had an interesting story and an easy laugh. I will miss this gem of a man - he has given the rest of us mortal men something to aspire to emulate !
I love you Eric ; Make room for us up there with our heavenly father please.
