Annette and Family,
You have lost a loving husband, father and grandfather. I have lost a dear and loyal friend. From 1976 when Eric taught me to develop my first b/w films to this past February when we played around with my new camera, Eric was always eager to help me better understand the entire art of photography.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I remember first meeting Eric and his brother when they came over to Mary Jo LoCasio's home. Eric and his brother stood when we girls walked into the room. I had never seen such young gentlemen. Eric was always at our class reunions to take the class picture. My deepest sympathy goes to all of his family.
