So sorry to all the family for your loss. Thoughts and prayers sent your way. Eric will be missed by all who's lives he touched mine included. I started spending time with Eric as a teenager working for him at treatment plant and our friendship grew over the years. From the fire station as my chief, working together again at the grammar school, and working with Pat at the super market. A community man that would do anything to help you. You will be missed my friend.

I served as a volunteer receptionist at the front door at the senior center in shelburne Falls. Eric always has something funny to say when he came through those front doors. Made me happy!

Eric was one of the great people that make Shelburne Falls what it is today. With so many great things he did for our Village, he has left a great impression on our community. Eric was always there for the folks that needed help... always with a smile on his face. Such a humble man who I admired so much. I am happy I was able to speak with him on one of his walks a couple months ago near Cricket Field. Rest in peace Eric!
