Not sure what to say?

What a great teacher he was. He will surely be missed. My condolences to the family

Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the voice we loved to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for thought to reach.
Sweet to remember him who once was here,
And who, though absent, is just as dear.

Erickson Family;
Greg sat next to me homeroom for 3 years at Harding High School. Lost touch for a lot of years only to find that he was my daughter's (Sandy Simbeck)teacher at Johnson High School.
We shared a lot of memories and I will remember him always.

I never had him as a teacher, but I saw him everyday in the hall. He would always say good morning to me and say ya tomorrow at the end of every day. Wednesday when we said see ya later, well that was the last time I ever talked to him. But I find those words fitting. And hopefully, we will see eachother later.

-Mr Erikson was thee coolest teacher that you can ever meet`, i wish he just live longer ! but he is the best

I was shocked to hear of your passing. I visited Mitch not that long ago at Johnson and wanted to come say hello to you, but I didnt get there in time. You always left right after that last bell. You were one of the best teachers at Johnson, you made the school day easier to get through and made waking up in the morning to go to school easier too. I loved learning but only if you were the one teaching us. You made things so much fun. I am saddened that God took you so early in your life, but...

Mr.Erickson was one of the best teachers at JHS.I had him about 12 yrs ago. He had a light heart and great sense of humor. I was saddened when I heard of the news on KDWB this morning when some students text it in. This just goes to show how liked he was by the kids. May your hearts be lightened by knowing how he touched so many people positivly. My condolences.
