Not sure what to say?

Eric was a client of mine for several years, and a mentor of sorts back in the 80's. I always admired him for sharing his knowledge with me and for treating me with respect and kindness. I bumped into him at a restaurant in Galena years later where he was dining with his family, and he was so different than when I'd see him in his office on Michigan Avenue, he was having the time of his life! Sorry to hear of his passing, and my condolences to his family...Bruce Williams

To the Krafft Family,

I just learned of Eric's passing and my heart is heavy. When my family and I moved to Chicago in 2011 from Pittsburgh, Eric and David immediately invited me to have lunch with them. Eric was "mentor/friend" to me, and I'm certain to many others, one of his sweet qualities. I am blessed to have had his friendship. My sincerest condolences to Patricia, David and the beautiful, large Krafft Family that is Eric's legacy. Eric will be fondly remembered and sorely...

To family of Eric, Losing someone close to you in death is a very painful experience. Please know that God "cares for you." (1 Peter chapter 5 verse 7) When it's hard to express ourselves to others, we can find comfort in approaching God in prayer. He understands. I hope this thought helps you cope during this time of grief.

Dear Pat and family,

We were so sorry to hear about Eric. We are thinking of you in this time of loss.

Sincerely,
Jessica, Steve, Zella & Bennett

It was always fun to visit with Eric and you. He taught our family a great deal by the example he set with your family values. Our memories will always be cherished by me.Peace be with you and your family.

Very sad. Eric was a neighbor as long as we have been in Chicago - over 40 years. We have always valued our contacts with him. We will miss him. Our thoughts are with you.
