Not sure what to say?

First and foremost I would like to send my deepest condolences out to the Betz family and his many friends.I met Bart and Nancy in the fall of '81 and their father soon after when I joined the BSA Troop 256. Bart was a grade ahead of me and Nancy a few below me. Bart and I were never very close friends as he was a whole year older than me. It wasn't until '86 when I got hired as a dishwasher/ prep cook at Mazzis in John's landing that I met Eric.He was a line cook and six years older. It took...

Eric, you always made everything fun! Just a blast to be around. Always smiling. My thoughts go out to your beautiful children and partner, and your many biking and skiing brothers.

My Strava feed makes me sad when I don't see the Beezer on there. I am glad I got to know you through my wife teaching Hannah all those years ago and your spirit lives on in both your girls. Ride on brother.

In the too short time that we had to get to know Eric, we did have a chance to see and to appreciate some very important qualities he possessed: Wonderful ways to express his love for Susie: You knew he'd be in the front row, in his Neon Grey t-shirt, supporting Susie and Neon Grey at all their performances! He loved to send daily "Josie Update" photo-posts to Hannah and Naomi, Best Dad ever to his Josie and to our Ted---his daily walks really helped them to become BFFs, Best co-chef...

Beezer, whether dancing on the rail or sending it down a trail [for just one more "Hobo Lap"] - you made everything and everyone you touched better. RIP brother - you are so missed. Much love to all feeling this enormous loss

The memory we hold dear to our hearts is the love we observed between Eric and his two daughters. The few times we were together, Naomi and Hannah were foremost in his conversations with us. This is a true legacy that all of us wish to pass on and we know that his daughters will keep Eric's love for them close to their hears. Love always, Dawn and Mike Redlin

I got to know this beautiful soul over the last few years thanks to his relationship with Susie. They shared a beautiful and inspirational love. Eric exuded a contagious happiness and optimism that would make you smile, laugh and feel better. He will be missed by many.

The day you were born was so special to your Dad and me and throughout your life you were a important part of the Betz family adventures. Rest in peace sweet boy. Your loving Mama, Beth

So happy we both found love together. I miss you with all of my heart. Sending condolences to Eric´s daughters, family, and anyone else who is missing this beautiful soul.
