I knew Eric in the early 70's when he and his family lived across the street. He was a really good guy, very intelligent and we often played 'handball' in the street between our families homes.. I was saddened to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family and friends...

I had the opportunity of working with Eric at P&W in Development Ops on Second Shift.
I had known him from the Union Hall, union meetings & contract negotiations, but was glad to get the chance to know him better. He was a great guy, and a very conscientious, knowledgeable worker. I am sorry for your loss, and know Eric will be missed by all who knew him at Pratt and in the Machinists Union.

Herb, My heartfelt condolences for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. If I may leave you a thought that has provided me with some comfort through difficult times...

If we think of a loved one getting on board a ship that leaves us to go on a very long journey... we are deeply saddened to see him go. We must consider the port on which the ship is destined and think of the happiness of the one that await for our loved one's arrival.

God Bless and may you receive God's Peace

Your Brother,

Cliff
