Eric PATERSON

So very sorry to hear of Erics passing he was an awesome hockey coach and mentor our thoughts and prayers to the Paterson family

Sorry to hear of Eric's passing. The Patersons have been long standing friends of my family in Scotland. I always have fond memories of meeting Eric as a child into a adulthood for his kindness and the mischevious twinkle in his eye. He will be much missed and our thoughts are with Barbara and the family.

We share in the great sadness of the loss of Eric, a long time friend and well respected hockey referee. Eric and I travelled together for a lot of years, covering many miles in Northern Alberta, through all kinds of weather. To the Paterson Family we send our sincerest condolences. Many lives are truly richer for having known Eric.

I had the greatest respect for Eric during the time I knew him and always remember him as quiet spoken and dedicated. No words can express the sense of loss he leaves behind, but I will say that he left the world a better place than when he entered it. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

I'm so sad to hear of Eric's passing. Working with him and Doug for over 35 years at Transit was a joy.Our years together on the union executive will never be forgotten.What a fine family you have Bobbie. His Olympic Metal was a great source of pride for him; but to those of us who knew him, the gold is the memories we hold of him in our hearts.

Dear Bobbie and Family,

So sorry to hear of Eric's passing. I have many memories of the Paterson family. Mom (Marg Stewart) always had a close relationship with her cousins and enjoyed meeting with them and keeping in touch.

Our deepest sympathy to your family.

Dear Paterson Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Eric for many years at the Appeals Commission and I am sad today to read of his passing. He was a fine man - my condolences to all of you for your loss.

It was my pleasure to have worked with Eric on the accident review board at Transit for many years. He was always a gentleman and interested in making things better. He will be missed.

Eric was a great friend and work partner to my Dad (Dick Dinwoodie). Eric's friendship meant a great deal to my parents. He will be remembered fondly.

I am sorry to hear of Eric's passing. We were close friends in our younger days, and played hockey together, the year after The Edmonton Mercury's won the Olympic Gold Medal, with Eric as goaltender.Our paths would cross occasionally after we had married and were raising families. Eric was a fine, honest and ethical man. My sincerest condolences to all the family. May God bless you all as you mourn his loss.

Our Deepest Sympathy to Bobbie and Family.
