Eric is preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Betty Spahr, brother Donald and sister Bonnie. Eric was devoted to his children and grandchildren, wrote journals on many topics, an aficionado of pens, a homesteader at heart and a "Distinguished Gentleman". Eric left his family with the blueprints for quality time together, the art of thrift store deals and a long list of recipes that made family dinner nights treasured memories for all who came.

Helen - so sorry for your loss. When we worked together @ St. Ann's I loved hearing about your family . . . you had Riley and Erin at that time. And I do remember you're describing Eric as a great Dad. May you, your children and grandchildren forever focus on the great memories you created together with Eric.
