Eric Lee Vandervort

Eric was such a wonderful man. Funny, smart, kind. RIP my friend. I will miss you very much.

I had the pleasure of knowing and calling Eric my friend. He always had a smile on his face. I know he leaves wonderful memories in everyones heart. Praying for all the family.

I Was Known as little Eric On NASA SOFIA project. I knew and worked with Eric off and on 31 years.The last 3 and half we shared a apartment in California. He was and still is a dear friend. Eric has started the next segment of his journey in this universe.

Eric had a beautiful soul, a generous heart and was a wonderful father. I will miss him terribly, but will never forget him. I know he's fishing with all his friends in heaven, chasing after a snake. I'm just glad your pain has ended old friend. Your life lives on in your children and grandchildren.

Love,
Karen

Love you,
Hans, Gina, Max and Taylor
