Not sure what to say?

I worked with Eric years ago doing late nights at Dinner For The Earth. He sure could put on an entertaining show with his saxophone, and the acoustics upstairs. He will be greatly missed.

We just learned of Eric's passing and unfortunately missed the musical celebration of his life. He was always so supportive of his fellow musician friends and loved to talk about music and musicians he admired. Heartfelt condolences to his family and many friends.

I met Eric in Rome during high school. His spirit was larger than life! I smile as I type remembering his vibrate, fun and positive nature. How sad to hear of his passing so young, our world needs people like him. I'm thankful to have known him. Tom Hanrahan

I met Eric while working at Dunham's Music. I was always astounded by his playing. His love of his Pat Methany Guitar and his never ending search for new inspiration. He was a great guy. I am deeply saddened in learning of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Be Blessed one and all with the knowledge of his guidance from above. Thank You My Friend!

Eric and I crossed paths many times in my 14+ years here in Asheville, much of it when I would be out gigging and playing music with our mutual friend, Frank Southecorvo. Eric was always so kind and was one of the guys who was 'always there' checking out the scene. Rest in peace...

God bless you in your time of grief.

May God bless you and your family at this time of sorrow.
