My sincerest condolences to the Biddings family and friends. I'm still in disbelief and overcome with sadness that we have all lost such a great friend. Work brought us together, but he is my friend forever. I had a hip replaced, and Eric was the first person to visit. From the hallway, I hear this booming voice,"Koby, get your butt out of bed, we've got hoops to play"! Nobody could bring a smile to your face faster than "Big E". You will be missed brother...
