This was a sad and total shock to me, to hear of Eric's passing. My family and I grew up with Eric, he was a dear neighbor and friend. Such good times we all had with each other, we played, laughed, joked, fought, and had each other's back all in the same sense, no matter what went down, Eric was right there to help. Eric will be forever missed by us all. And to the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. GOD doesn't make mistakes, remember that!
