Eric, you were one of my first clients when I started with Healthcare NZ. You made me feel welcomed in your home and we always had a good chat each morning, and you loved sharing your life stories and talked about your family with so much love I have missed you since I left for Australia and I hope you are now reunited with your wife. Your passing has made me realise I need to get myself back into community support work. Condolences to Sonya and Cynthia plus your children

Eric touched our lives briefly as a customer at our Dairy in Feilding. A regular for his weetbix, milk and bar of chocolate. Always polite and cheerful zipping around on his scooter. Our family send our love and condolences to his.
