I am deeply saddened and stunned by the news of Eric's passing. Eric and I were former co-workers, and I honestly thought the world of him. He was a brilliant RPG programmer and a wonderful co-worker - always willing to share his knowledge. He had an odd sense of humor, and it just kind of grew on you. I want Iggy and Victoria to know - he loved you so much, and was so very proud of you. When we worked together - he talked about you all the time. I just spoke to him earlier this summer and he sounded good, seemed excited and talked as if he would be moving back to New York for a new job opportunity. I was going to call him this evening and talk to him about a job opportunity I know about here in New York. My heart and sympathy go out to all of his family. I will never forget all that Eric taught me and shared with me. He was a beautiful human to me.

I was sad to learn of Eric's passing. We grew up together on Murphy Road. I will always remember the great board games that he would bring out on a rainy day so that we would have something to do. Condolences to the Krajci family.

My deepest condolences to Eric's family. I hired Eric right out of college as a programmer for Purolator and never regretted a moment of that decision! He was bright, funny and just had wonderful people skills. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. (I will never forget his cow halloween costume!)
