My condolences to the Pomeroy family. I only knew of Eric when he was a small child of his mother and father, Stan. Stan was a kind and good father. May God grant His blessings and hand over the entire family as they deal with Eric's passing.

It was a pleasure to work with Eric for the last 6 years. He always had the student's best interest at heart and would always take time to stop and say hello and ask if there was anything he could help them with. He will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss. Carolyn Lathrop and Family
