Marguerite, I just learned of Erics passing. Even though we have been out of touch for so long I still carry many happy memories of Eric and things we shared together during the years we both worked for Dutchess County. We golfed, played tennis, danced, went to Aruba, went to leadership training in Troy, sailed on his dad's boat and later, Alice and I visited with both of you at Harmon Cove with our new baby girls. The last contact I had with him was after 9/11 when I called him to see if he was OK as I knew he worked in the city. Our sincerest sympathies to you and your family.
