The blessing of friendship is eternal. The sadness of Eric's passing and joy of our times together is always with me.

I'm ever grateful for Eric's innumerable kindnesses and especially wonderful times in Allegheny National Forest. I think of Eric frequently. He is always in the back of my mind. I send my thanks in prayer. I can think of nothing more appropriate in honor of Eric than the planting of a tree as I've done. I only wish I'd done more for him when he was among us.

True friend. Loving heart. I am ever thankful for his friendship. The strains of "Oh Danny Boy" envelope my grief. How I love him.

Eric was always a kind hearted person. I was a manager with him at Burger King in cranberry . I always remember how he would try to get the kids that were new to go to the basement . They would go out and look around . Of course we never did have one . I send my condolences to the family . He was a special person
