I will miss my Uncle Eric. I spent many childhood days at the softball field with he and Aunt T; spent many nights tagging along to parties ; and many spend the nights withhe and T watching movies and hanging out. His laugh was infectious as was his personality. Rest In Peace.

Eric was a good friend from childhood. I have nothing but fond memories of Eric. I remember his laugh, his love of music and all the old cars he drove. One memory I would like to share occurred when he and I were going to KCC together. He need a new door for a car he was driving at the time and he asked me to go along to a junk yard to get it. It was a beautiful day so I said yes. I remember working on the car listening to music cranked up loud and Eric laughing as we worked. All and all...

Very shocked and sorry to learn of Eric's passing. Eric was a great guy to work with and to be around. A hard working guy with a great sense of humor, I always enjoyed hearing his laugh and his funny take on things. He took a lot of pride in his work, as well he should because he had admirable skill and a hard work ethic. Above all, Eric was always so proud of his sons and I enjoyed hearing his stories about his boy's activities and how well they were doing. My condolences to his family.

Eric was my brother in law but also my friend. He always made me smile or laugh. He was witty and even when he was ill, he would make a funny remark that would make everyone smile. He was a wonderful father and a very hard worker. I will never forget the family Christmases, and other holidays that he was a part of, our very first boating Dale Hollow camping trip, and all the talks we had over the years. He and Jim were great buddies and their great senses of humor and joy in life fed off each...
