I am sorry to hear of Erics passing. I have prayed for him and his family. I was always impressed with his height and athleticism. I just wished I had nerve to ask him what it was like to be an all-american etc. I thought it was incredible. He was in one of my classes and it always cracked me up that he was so tall he looked like a person trying to sit in pre-schooler chair/desk. I love telling that story. He also use to duck to get through doorways. This always impressed me because I am short. I would marvel at his height! RIP Eric. May Our Lord & Our Lady be with you.
