Erick Laine was the embodiment of any adjective that can aptly describe the best person any man can be. I worked through 10 years of time that Erick was active in the company. I remember him with fondness and memories of that time. Rest in peace and love, for you deserve it. You will not be forgotten.

To the Laine family: Please accept my condolences over the loss of your father. He was a fine man, strong of mind and body, whom I admired.
In sympathy,
Tom Luken

Erick was a gentleman in every way and a great leader. Cutco Corporation would not be what it is today had it not been for Erick's foresight and leadership. He will be greatly missed and our condolences go out to Marianne and Family.

Erick was a great friend and mentor. He was always supportive of me and my company. He was a great humanitarian. Erick, you will be missed.

In the late 1990's when I had suffered some reversals of fortune, Erick, a virtual stranger, reached out a helping hand to me . It has always been a reminder to me that when you see someone needing help, reach out as Erick did for me and my family.
