I loved playing pickup basketball with Eric in the driveway of his house. He was always a fun guy. Even though I moved and hadn't seen him for years my memories of him are all good. He was just a nice guy.

I remember meeting Eric in H.S. playing basketball. I used to ride my bike to his house to play one-one in his driveway. He was a funny guy and always fun to be around. In fact, all my memories of Eric while in H.S. were positive. I grew up with a Dad who fought in WWII and things were pretty "button down." Eric was the opposite. Always looking for a fun time and was truly the life of the party. I have to say I have never come across anyone in my lifetime similar to him. He was truly one-of-a-kind.
Miss you my friend.

Eric and I were in the same class at Homestead H.S. I remember him as always being a fun loving, nice guy who was fun to be around. We played basketball together and probably my favorite games was him and I playing one on one in his driveway. I don't know who could talk more during a game him or I...I think we both kept on ongoing play by play dialogue the entire game. It was fun going back to H.S. Reunions cause he was always so much the same guy...it felt like home. I know I moved away from WI and didn't see him much after graduation but I was not surprised by the outpouring of love everyone shared upon his passing. I was a better person having him in my life as a friend. God Bless.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Eric through Steinhafels. My mom (Gretchen Woyt) worked there for 16 years so we met Eric a bunch of times and he always had a smile and his sense of humor. We had many laughs. He will always be in your hearts.

I am sorry to hear about my friend Eric. I have only good memories of him from our HS days. My favorite were our 1-1 basketball challenges in his driveway in Mequon. He had a good soul. Bill Kaemmer
