Not sure what to say?

This cannot be. It just can´t. Eric was one of those rare people who had near total comprehension of your situation. His empathy level was kind of like an aura: you could approach him respectfully, tell him the truth, and his aura would kind of light up. He would look at you straight in the eyes, and listen to what you had to say. Next thing you knew, he would have you laughing-pain cancelled for another day! I will never ever forget his unwavering devotion to his beautiful wife, Ellen,...

Eric was a great friend. His smile was infectious and his deep and hearty laugh will always be remembered. He accomplished so much. From his love of good food and wine, to being a fine golf partner, but most of all he was a fantastic husband and father. He was taken from us far too soon. God bless his soul.

Single Memorial Tree

Our team had the pleasure of working with Eric in the last several years on a complex BK case in Atlanta, what a pleasure, smart, kind, speaking of his family so often, and keeping a sense of humor and negotiations centered, when all involved were beyond crazy. May his memory be a blessing, and we are fortunate to have worked with him and to have known him.

Ellen: We all hold so many fond memories of Eric. He was so much fun to be around with his quick wit, appreciative sense of humor, and positive attitude. I remember him as always upbeat and energetic. I have always been grateful for Eric inviting me on several of his buddy golf trips he organized. He was a great husband, father, and friend. My condolences to you and your family.

It had been some time since Eric and I were in touch, but I have fond memories of our adventures together when we were young men - Backpacking in the Porcupine Mountains and Banff - and many swim meets and practices together. Ellen and family, and Ruth, Carl, and Marie - I hope that your sadness will be replaced with happy memories. You have my condolences. -Tom Wiensch

Eric and I met when we were inducted into the American College of Bankruptcy. We were able to hang together at a a couple of ACB andNCBJ events. He was a great lawyer and truly good person. He will be missed.

Dear Ellen, we´re so saddened to hear of Eric´s passing. We will always remember Eric as your devoted, loving, laughing, active husband and dad to Ian, Henry and Eva. Our prayers are with you all.
