eric "the painter" "the fisherman" tyler. we used to hang after i got off work from shenanigan's. He drank the dollar mugs and captain& coke. we used to talk about all sorts of things. usually about his daughter, ashley who he spoke often and proudly of. He could be grumpy after a particularly rough day, just as anyone else but by the time he was ready to go home there was talk of fishing plans, followed by a reinforcing smile from beyond the mustache. a hard worker, and a loving father. good man for advice. "later dude." was his sign off.

I was very sorry to hear about Eric's passing. I'm very glad I got the opportunity to spend some time with him, and serve him his beers for a bit. =) Rest in peace, Eric. You will be missed by so many!!!

I knew Eric for a short time, and he was always very kind to me. I have many fond memories of our talks at happy hour, usually about our daughters. I will miss him.
