Erby was a truly unique person who made everyone's life he touched better. His philosophy of first helping others created relationships that will last forever. Many of my most memorable moments were with him and he so loved talking innovation! He will be missed, but his spirit and legacy will live on in the hundreds of people he helped, so he will always be with us.
