Eric was not only a driver I worked with but also a good friend. He made me laugh so hard everytime I spoke with him on the phone. The most generous guy EVER, said if my family ever made it up to Michigan that we could stay with him and head out on the boat. He was a best driver I have ever worked with and always was a man of his word. I am extremely sad to have heard of his passing as the text messages I sent weekly on how he was doing was never replied back to. I know he is upstairs looking down with a cold beer in his hand and relaxing for a change because down here, he was 110% petal to metal! Miss you bro!

I trust our Dear Lord has many angels in place to comfort Eric's family and friends in this difficult time of loss. My deepest condolences to ALL. He will be dearly missed. I am grateful for the time I was able to share with him and the many laughs we had.
He will always have a very special place in my heart and I pray he is at peace. May God bless him and all the hearts he has touched.
