So very sorry to hear of Eric's passing. Growing up, Eric was almost like a younger brother to me, always wise-cracking and funny. He and the whole Cygnarowicz family will always be in my thoughts.

Tom & Ellen, our thoughts and prayers go out to Cygnarowicz family. Every time we turn down a side we think of you two, your Rand McNally you gave us was a god send in our early years in Delaware.

Eric was a fun-loving, loyal friend that cared for others and was always willing to help someone in need. I am fortunate to have grown up with Eric and we shared a lot of good times from Jr High through College. Cyggie was a tremendous scholar-athlete. Fantastic baseball player, but also the kind of athlete that was good at anything he played. Gone too soon but never forgotten.
Save a spot in heaven for us Cyggie!

What a great guy, he was so fun to be around. My deepest sympathy to his family. I worked with Eric and he was really a thoughtful person that always had a great smile. I am so glad I had the opportunity to have known him. Thanks for the fond memories.
Peace be with you.
