I didn't know Eric well, but I had numerous encounters with him in our respective roles in the financial services industry. We have lost a major resource and a person of great candor and integrity. Would that we could all emulate his fine qualities.

I had the pleasure to work with Eric for years. He was always a pleasure to spend time with and did things the right way. I'm sure he is very much missed by his family and friends. He was a great guy.

He was such a great guy and he was encouraging for class reunions and talked about his family so all could enjoy hearing about them.
