With great shock and sadness I am stunned to so belated hear the news of Eric's passing. Worked with him for many years at Statewide bug out, played softball with him on several teams, went through a divorce at the same time and shared many of laughs together. Funny how you don't see somebody for a short period of time and something like this happens and you just wish you had checked in. Great sadness and his family will be in my prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear the awful news of Eric's passing. I haven't seen him since we were kids in High School but he was truly one of the good guys. Such a kind, happy person who will be missed. My condolences to everyone in his family.

Dear Freitag Family,
We are saddened to hear of Eric's passing. We've known Eric for many years...he was and will always be a good man. He always talked about his family and of course Philly sports. Our hearts and thoughts are with you. Vickie and Tammy

I was in homeroom with Eric a couple years in high school. He used to come over and talk about the weekend football scores and analyze the games.
We ran in some of the same after school pick up sports circles. I played football, softball, all kinds of ball with Eric and a bunch of guys. I saw the news of Eric's passing on facebook, posted by one of those guys - Greg Dixon.
I lost track of Eric after high school, but I wanted to leave a message here; we move through life and people touch us in ways big and small. I hadn't thought of Eric in years but when I read the news it was like I was back in 10th grade again, listening to Eric talk sports and crack jokes with that easy smile.
I read here that he was a grandfather already. What a full life. To the Freitag family: my deepest condolences for your loss.

Eric was a kind soul who gave freely of his time. I had recently moved to New Jersey and had the opportunity to co-coach with Eric and he turned that season into one of the most memorable experiences. Eric was always enthusiastic, funny, and fair, and I will miss him dearly.

Much too young to leave us. Eric, so generous as he participated in life with sensitivity that he unselfishly shared with customers, especially by extending help to me many times following my husband's death. My prayers and sympathy are with his family.

To Lisa and Family, I knew Eric for 20 plus years and cannot think of one person that had something bad to say about him. He was a true gentleman with a good heart. He was a great friend to have and I enjoyed his company. He was as honest as a guy could be and everyone respected him. Everyone should have a friend like Eric in their life as they would be a better person for it. The world was definitely a better place with him in it. My deepest condolences go out to you.

Sad news to hear my childhood friend has left this world so soon. The Freitag family was very good to my brother, Barry, and I. Eric was a good friend that has never left my mind or heart even though we have not been in contact since high school. May all those that love and depended on him find peace in your hearts.

Emma Jo, Val, Mark and the entire Freitag family, there aren't words that can properly express how deeply sorry I am for the loss of Eric. I knew him as a little boy at the Lake, but lost touch with all of you when Rich, Kristin, Richie and I moved to the other side of town. I think Eric was around 8 years old when we left. Reading all the Facebook comments and the entries in the Guest book shows me he grew into a well-loved and respected adult. Your hurt will lessen over time and your happy memories will fill that spot.
