Happy Birthday, my precious Eric. I miss you so very much. I know it was crazy, but I called your cell today, hoping by some miracle it was still in service. And miracle of miracle I heard your message. It may me so happy to hear that beautiful voice but so incredibly sad that you are not with us. I know you are at peace now but selfishly I wish you were still here with us. I love you so very much my sweetheart. You will always be my "bald headed, skinny legged kid". Mom L

Eric-I can't believe your gone. You were always so much fun to talk to when I came into club. I also recall when we worked together years ago. You always brought a smile to my face and I left our conversations in a good mood. You will be missed dearly by you're EBC family and member services won't be the same without you. Love, Jenny Stevens (walsh)

My heart breaks for everyone's loss. I only knew Eric from the one charity bike ride he did with us but losing a child, brother, uncle and friend is never easy. I wish you all wonderful memories of the time you had with Eric. Tricia

Eric, You will be missed! We always had laughs. I think our best memory has to be the time you needed to live with me for 6 months (in the little house I just bought) Lucky I was next to the HS so you could finish and not move away mid year_ I marched into HS Office with you as your legal guardian_ I was 19 you were 17! The looks on the administrators was Priceless! Love to All feeling the pain of loss! Joe Lorello

I hope you know you will be missed, not only by me, but by several. I will always remember our conversations, your distinct laugh and of course our friendship that ended too soon.

May the Hearer of prayer give the family the comfort needed during this time of grief (Psalm 65:2). The Almighty is a refuge for us in times of distress. May you find relief in His promises of life again for our lost love ones like Eric, found in His word during this time of sadness.

Eric signed me up at the EBC many years ago, like 10 yrs. We instantly became friends and I became his insurance agent.

I will miss him but always remeber his kindness and charm.

Eric,
What can I say, we basically spent 40 hours a week together for the last 14 years. You were my friend, confidant and someone I knew would always be there for me. I will miss everything about you. Everyday I'll see something that reminds me of you. You were at my wedding, my bachelorette party, (wait a minute, how did that happen?) when I brought my boys home from the hospital, you name it! I will think about you every time I see a mini cooper (what a debate that was), I promise to savor dark chocolate and not chew it and when I sing Iron Maiden or Metallic songs, I'll sing for the two of us.
MISS YOU (verpassen Sie) a little German for you:)

You're in my prayers,
Kathy Yassini
