Eric was my best friend until my family moved to Ft. Worth, and life, as it does sometimes, separated us. But, no matter where my life took me, the Williams family never left my heart. Sharon´s awesome breakfasts before Dale, Eric, and I headed north to the ranch to tend the animals, camp for the weekend, or hunt. Dale´s open, kind, and patient teaching of this obnoxious yankee kid. And Eric´s sense of humor, easy friendship, and love of nature, animals, and agriculture.
I am so sorry to have missed my old friends celebration of life. And this world is a sadder place without his kind spirit.
