Dear Phillip and Lindsey,
We knew your father for 20 years in the investment community and he always spoke so fondly of both of you. He was so cheerful, even when he had to go through hard times, and you were the brightest spots in his universe. Please accept our heartfelt best wishes. He will be missed.

Dear Philip and Lindsey,

I was told just today about your dad's passing. He will be missed in the neighborhood. I'll remember him riding his bike or playing tennis. He always had something humorous to say whenever we'd see him. He was so proud of both of you and his granddaughter.

May you always remember him at his happiest, and may that bring you warm comfort. And may God hold you in the palm of His hand at this sad time.

Dear Philip and Lindsay,
It is with great regret that we heard about your father's passing. He was a great dad and surely will be missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy in acknowledging his death.
We wanted to share a short story about him with you. You dad was our broker when we first moved to Florida and he was personally responsible for us finding and eventually purchasing the home we love so much on Hudson Ave. All of you were great neighbors and we wanted you to know, our thoughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times.

Dear Philip,
I was so saddened to hear the news of your father's death. I used to run into him in town, but have not seen him in a few years. I have such fond memories of him from our days coaching soccer at Miller ballpark and watching him play tennis with you at the Ocean Club. He was always so animated at the games and I loved his competitive spirit. It was obvious to see that he was a very proud father and a devoted dad.
Please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of your father.
We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Lindsey and Philip,

I was very saddened today to learn that your lovely Dad had passed away. It is difficult to believe that Eric, so full of life, laughter and love for his family, is no longer here. I remember that he was especially kind to me when Nick passed away. He was my neighbor in Atlantis at the time and always made a point of trying to bolster my spirits whenever we met. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Joanne Cameron & Family

I only knew your father for a few years , but consider him one of the kindest persons I had ever met, Especially when he helpped me out with allowing me to tap into his power during Wilma to keep my father alive. I ran accorss a poem I wish to share with you, maybe it will bring some comfort.
God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put His arms around you and whispered"come with me". With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Althought
we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best!
