Our sincere condolences go out to Kathy and the family. Eric was always there for any questions about his Met. We were at many events with the family. I remember when the kids were small and they were in the trunk in the parade. It was so cute. R.I.P. Eric you will be missed.

My sincerest condolences to Kathy and the family. Eric was one of the nicest guys I've ever met and it was my privilege to work side by side with him at Abby Senior during the time he was there. We built quite a few cars together, and went to swap meets and car shows. He was a very talented man and he will be missed.

As a Founding member and first President of the BC Mets Club, Eric was instrumental in encouraging us to maintain our little cars. His help with the technical aspects was always appreciated and we will miss him greatly.

To my Cousin Eric, R.I.P. My Dad ( Eric's Uncle Henry) restored antique cars so you can imagine that those two always had plenty to talk about.

I am deeply saddened by Eric's passing. I met Eric through the Metropolitan car club. His passion for these little cars and his friends was infectious and he was always ready to help or give advice. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Eric the few times we met, my sincerest condolences to Kathy and their family.

It was a pleasure to have known Mr. Lehn in my childhood, when he taught alongside my parents in the Abbotsford school district and I was good friends with his son, Jason. Mrs. Lehn, Jason and Amanda my heart is with you and I am truly sorry to hear of Mr. Lehn's passing. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
