Eric Ross Quackenbush

Always a stellar person, It was obvious.

I am so sorry for your loss, Cindy and Ann. Eric was my next door neighbor from the time we were 8 until we left home, so he was a constant in my life. I remember a lovely conversation with home at one of our high school reunions. Though I didn´t know him well when we were young, I found him a kind and thoughtful person.

Oh Cindy, Christopher and Blair, I am heartbroken by your loss. Eric helped our three kids learn to fish and we have such warm and wonderful memories of Lake Gulliver with Eric´s famous spaghetti the first night followed by many raucous evenings of Trivial Pursuits which Eric always won. He was a kind and gentle and loving soul and who gave so much to all who were lucky enough to call him our friend. Much love to all of you. Lisa Bick

I´m so sorry Cindy. I know there´s nothing I can say to ease your feeling of loss. I knew the minute you introduced me to Eric back on Greenbush Rd. , he was your forever person. God bless you and your family and may time bring you peace.

When I started as an aide in the Michigan Senate in 1984, our offices were on the fourth floor of the Farnum Building. Eric worked in a small room across the hall. He was always welcoming and helpful to the new kid on the block! Enjoyed many conversations and I cherish the memories. Peace to his family.

I first met Eric in 5th grade at Burns Park Elementary School in Ann Arbor. He was a very bright student. I was privileged to be in the same math group with him in sixth grade, and I remember always wanting to check my answers against his.

Indeed, Eric was like a brother to me, and he seemed to enjoy the role of "older brother" to many of us.

I'm so sorry for your families loss. Although I only knew Eric for a short time, I could see the tremendous love he had for each of you. Thinking of you.

Fond memories of our time as colleagues on the Senate Dem Staff. His great sense of humor and efforts regarding redistrictinhg will long be remembered.
Requiscat in Pace, friend.

Sending love to all the family. We missed Eric this Thanksgiving.
