Eric was one of a kind. He was very serious when he put his mind to whatever business he was in, willing to step outside the box and learn so he could empower others. Well done Sir Eric! Your work here is done and you have left a lasting impression on many.
Praying for his family, friends and all who loved him and will miss him. Keep his memory alive - he left an incredible path to follow! Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
