Mrs. Greiner & Kathy, I'm so sad to hear of Eric's passing. He and I were good friends and during high school. I remember hanging out with Eric during our class trip to VA beach, the horrified look on my mother's face when Eric came to pick me up on his motorcycle, and the fun we all had with Bye Bye Birdie. May the love of family and friends make this time of transition a little easier for you.

I'm sorry to hear about Eric's passing. Eric and I were apprentices together at Pratt & Whitney from 1982 to 1985. He was one of the best machinists I ever knew and he helped me with my project work during the apprenticeship. He was an intelligent and gentle man and I am grateful to have known him.
