It has been many years since I saw Eric. He turned into such a nice looking young man. I have been good friends with his oldest sister for many, many years and it is for her - Joan - and her family that I extend my good thoughts of caring.

I met Eric at Racy D'lenes coffee shop. He was a wonderful person who always went out of his way to ask me how I was doing. We would chat about retro video games often and I loved every conversation we had.
Hope you're doing well in this next level of life Eric!

I met Eric through his Mother, Susan. Whenever I met Eric, he was always welcoming and interested in what I was doing and would share what he was doing. He was a wonderful violinist and had a marvelous voice - and he willing shared those talents with many. I am grateful for knowing this young man. May you be resting in peace, dear Eric.

Susan Jim and family:
So sorry for your loss. I appreciated when he came to sing to Mom at her facility. Your family has always held a special place in the hearts of our family. So hard when we are not able to be there to support you. Will keep you in prayers. Rosie Gray

Dear Schansberg family, I deeply regret your loss, and I hope that these words will bring some comfort and peace to your heart. It is very painful to have to say goodbye to those we love, but this is the final destination for all of us and we can only try to accept it. Eric has left this earth and has now found eternal peace, but he is not gone forever, through you, your love and your longing he will continue to be present in your hearts. One day you will meet again in eternity. Love, Christina JP Narciso
