Eric graduated from Kingswood Regional High School in 1990. Eric had a successful career for 21 years at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. He started off as a rigger, and worked his way up to general foreman/zone manager over his many dedicated years at the shipyard.

Eric is survived by wife, Jamie Lyn Carlson (Ladd), of Rochester, New Hampshire, daughters Haley Carlson of Wakefield, New Hampshire, Erica Freeman and son-in-law Shane Freeman of Hampden, Maine, granddaughter Evelyn Carlson of Wakefield, New Hampshire, three sisters, and many nieces and nephews.
