My brother Erik,

I know you´ve been gone a long time but just stumbled across this board. You were one of my best friends growing up. You always had my back. I look forward to catching up with you on the other side my man.

Much Love

Erik was one of first business partners and what a truly honourable person he always was. Without him, my company WILL☆PAGE would not have take-off like it did. Erik was always there looking over my shoulder and when it was my destiny to crash, burn and move onto a more meaningful life with six children, Erik was the only one I could truly trust. His parents, family and Children should remain eternally proud of Erik...as I always will be in my heart-of-hearts.

Liza, Carol and Mel,
We just found out about Erik today, we cant express with words how we feel but we pray to God for him and for all of you to reconfort, because for us Erik was not only a great friend and partner it was also like a brother in all the adventures we conquered together. Your son and husband was the most generous man we ever knew, caring and enthusiastic, always full of optimism and we are sure God have a special place for him to watch over us. Thank you Erik, we love you forever and be sure you are always remembered!! TOP TO THE BOTTOM MY FRIEND!!

I knew Erik from dealing with him in business. He could be very demanding, but always with a sense of fairplay. I spoke with him a couple of months before he passed on about his plans for a new venture. I will miss him. The intensity and energy he brought to bear on projects was formitable. The thing is, I knew under the hard guy exteior, was a gentle giant. Rest in peace buddy. You will always stay forever young in my memory.
