Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to hear of Eric's passing. I have great memories of Eric from our Junior and High School years, playing basketball, and classes. He was a great person. Mark McCoy

Hi Mary and Brian, Rose told me about Eric but I have been so busy at work I forgot to write sooner. So sorry for your loss. Peggy (Ryan) Sanko.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Though it's been 22 years since I have had contact with Eric, someone like him is never forgotten. Fun to be around, accepting of everyone, and always with a smile...he touched more lives than will ever be known.

Thoughts and prayers to Eric's family. I found out about his passing through a mutual classmate in Minnesota. I had no idea he had moved so near my adopted home of the last 26 years. Eric had a great sense of humor and an infectious, impish smile.

My thoughts go out to Eric's family. I first got to know Eric in 2nd grade and was great friends with him through high school. I hold many fond memories of him, he was a very special person who knew just how to make people happy and want to be around him. Mark Pfeffer (Class of 1986)

My condolences go out to Eric's friends and family. Although I have not seen Eric for many years, I have fond memories of the times spent with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
