Dear Teresa and family,
We have never met, but I am terribly saddened to hear of Eric's passing. Prayers for you and all of Eric's loved ones. The Reighter family and mine were very close friends from before elementary school all the way through high school. We were best buddies then.I remember many camp outs in the Reighter backyard on Dodge Ave. in Fort Wayne. We just lived 7 or 8 houses apart. Eric was a great guy. My heart is broken. Again. So very sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
