We still miss you Eric. Thinking of you every day.

Still thinking of you, Eric.

I will always remember his great energy, intelligence, kindness, wit and most of all--his joy. He lived joyfully, he worked joyfully. It was a gift to load kilns with him and talk about everything under the sun. My deepest condolences to his loved ones. He is remembered.

Thinking of you, Eric.

Please accept my deepest condolences and sympathies to Eric's family and many friends. Gone way too soon. He will be missed.

Dear Tony, You and Eric were much too young to have this tragic experience. Len and I are so sorry, and we send you our love and sympathy. And a lot of hugs. Linda

My sincere condolences to Tony and to the rest of Eric's family and friends. Eric and I spent a lot of time in conversation at the old Chemistry Library at the University of Chicago when he worked there. I always enjoyed talking with him about food and literature.

Eric and my daughter, Amy, were great friends during high school. I remember his love for cooking even then. He was a terrific young man and as the obituary indicates, a talented leader and mentor for many. Though his life was cut short, it seems it was filled with, love, adventure, culture, and cooking. My heart goes out to all mourning his loss. May knowing that he lead a full life, give you some peace at this time. No doubt, he will be missed my many.
