Jim, Mickey...you know how much we value you and your family, you might as well be part of our own. Your loss is also ours. We have so many memories in common, and the "early years" are ours together, happy times. That's how Eric lives in our minds today, a happy kid, goofy, fun, full of it! That's who he really was. We miss it, and we will miss him for the rest of our lives.

My eyes will always remember the red savina peppers he grew, they were dank. Hottest pepper at that time. Worked great for insect repellent, I wouldn't recommend boiling those.
I'll never forget him he was a good guy to me and I won't forget our last phone conversation. I wanted to go to bdubs on brown st. with him last year when I was back there, but he said he was attending a wedding. Keeping his number in my phone.

Prayers and Thoughts to the Family, Steph, And VERY ESP Kayli
