Eric and I began working together in March 1995 on the DSCS and GPS 2R programs. We got to know each other while calibrating/validating the ground stations in the DPF and launch support equipment at Pad 17. Eric was one of the most even-tempered and humble men I have ever met. Always a smile, no matter how tough his day was. His interests were wide and I will miss our conversations in the Cal lab on all matter of subjects. Doctor K, it was always a pleasure to visit with you and Dorothy at...

I am so sad and shocked to hear about Eric. I have not seen Eric in many years but remember him well. I remember when I would visit my college friend Dorothy in Pompano Bch. and being so happy that Dorothy had met such a nice and easy going guy. Eric always made me feel at ease and was always very kind. Dorothy- I know how hard this is for you and I am here when you are ready to talk/cry. As you know I went through this with Henry just 8 months ago and know your pain and am here for you....

Eric was a very good friend of mine, I sat next to him since 2005, when I first joined the GPS IIRM team...Eric was always a gentleman and always the first in line to help me when I was new. I very much appreciated him taking his time to show me the ropes. Eric was also very helpful to me when I was going through my divorce, he always had time to talk and listen...and I will never forget him for his guidence in my darkest time. Eric was liked and respected by all his co-workers, everyone...

My deepest sympathies to Eric's loved ones. I went to Junior and Senior High School with Eric, and it was so nice to be in touch with him again through Facebook. He will truly be missed.

Worked with Eric the last fifteen years at the Cape for GPS Launch OPs, we also drove across the United States as security escorts and learned about Eric and his family, he is missed very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Eric is with the Lord in Heaven looking down at us, with a big smile! Mark Graul (Cape Canaveral, Fl.)

Eric was a friend and work confidant of mine for 14 years (GPS IIR program). I always enjoyed talking and debating about anything under the sun with him. I will miss those talks Big E, no doubt! He was my dictionary, thesaurus and proof reader to many of my papers, Thank you Eric for your help. I will miss you Big E! My thoughts and prayers got out to his family for you will be greatly missed!

Eric was a good friend and trusted confidant (I sat next to him for 14 years while working on the GPS program)who was always there to help me out with the many papers I had to compose for school. Without his knowledge of almost everything, I don't think I would have made it. I will miss our talks and debates Big E! My thoughts and prayers to Eric's family, you will be missed greatly Eric!!

Great friend and he will be missed greatly, Walt

I was best friends with Eric in high school. We worked together as busboy's in the restaurant business in Pompano Beach. Eric taught me how to shoot pool. He was a very good drummer and also a good pool player. We were in a band in high school and we had a lot of fun together. Eric was a man of character and integrity. When he met Dotothy he worked hard to be a good husband and father. Eric was dedicated to honesty and truth. Eric accepted Jesus Christ about three years ago becuase...
