Sue, I just learned of Eric's passing. You can tell, from the 10 year delay, we drifted apart following high school. In HS we were fairly close, but drifted since then.

I just heard about Erica passing. I am so sorry. My husband and I owned horses at Long Acres. We were thinking about what ever happened to Eric, and Lisa Baze text me and told me. I just want to say he was a super nice guy! God Bless Sue!

Last time I saw Eric was at Bully's in La Jolla. He was bartending and I was just out of college being a typical bar fly and hanging out with my friends. He always had a big smile and jokes to share. I will always remember his humor and kindness. Here's to you Eric! Sharon (Morrison)Davis

Eric and I met in the 7th grad, we were high jumping together, he introduced me to back roll they now use. Coach Wells wanted us to do the Western roll. So many great memories. The winning circle at Santa Anita and Hollywood park. He was a winner, in character and personality. May god love and spread that love to his family in heaven.
