Eric Paul Friedlander

Horrible, Awful, Unbelievable, I still can't comprehend it. I am so sorry for you Mrs. Friedlander, Lisa and Ann. Eric was a great person, I remember all those weekends and long summer weeks at the Vineyard, playing, laughing, fighting, sailing, jeeping, learning to grow up with good caring people around us.The Friedlander house was rated number ONE as the best snack, book, hammock, trampoline, and horse house at the Vineyard and Eric was a big part of that. I believe he holds the record for...

Dear Nancy, Anne, and Lisa,

I am so terribly sorry; my heart sunk when I heard the news. I wish I could do more than to express my sadness and wish for your strength during this time.

My memories of Eric will always be fond ones of our care-free days as kids at the Vineyard. We had so many good times; riding, swimming, sailing, 4-wheeling, playing at the river, cookouts, trampolining, and wonderful dinners at your house. As one of the younger Vinyard kids I remember Eric...

Shocking...Eric was a good friend and a student for so many years. Had so many good memories not just from training but also trips in the Philippines. TONY REYES, Founder Karate USA

Nancy;
I'll always remember Eric. Years ago, he took me boating on the lake. At first I was a little scared; but he immediately reassured me and even taught me a little bit. He was a very competent sailor and I had a lot of fun. Much later, we worked together for a summer; and he was always cheerful and easy to be around. I will always have only warm and happy memories of him.
I'm so very sorry for your loss; you are in my thoughts.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Eric's family. He will be missed by all of his friends who remember him as a really fun and outgoing person. Allan Vogt

Nancy,

Only 2 weeks ago Barbara and I saw Eric fishing at the lake.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Peace,

I knew Eric from the days at the Vinyard, I remember spending hrs on their trampolin going 4 wheeling and getting stuck.
I remember Dick always had his work parties to Little Sulpher creek in the spring. I remember his Mom and Dad were really good people and that they alway treated Eric, Lise and Anne very well.
As we grew older we'd happen to run into each other over the 4th of July up at the Vinyard.
In fact the last time I saw him was 9 yrs ago at the Vinyard on the 4th we...
