The Hanson Family,
I was honored to meet you 20 years ago when my husband worked at DJ Reardon. It was like we were one big family. Eric was such an amazing gentleman. We all had so much fun together with all the Reardon family.
I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time. No words can make that pain go away.
Love to you all and know he's always watching over you.
Rest In Peace Rick. You will truly be missed.

Jen, Caroline and Ella,
I am so sorry for your loss. Eric was a wonderful, kind and generous person.
Working as your nanny was one of my most rewarding and enjoyable jobs. I loved seeing Eric with his daughters.

To All of the Hanson Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. To you Ricky, I am very sorry, you not only lost a Great Son, but also a Great Friend, and Pal.
I cannot tell you how much I miss you two guys, as you both were Great to me.
I first met the both of you at Vesper, and we had some Great Times, and a whole bunch of Laughs. The last time, I saw you two, was at The Bancroft, you were in a special room, and I was one of the people that brought you your food. I have never forgotten you two, as two of the Best People I have ever met, and got to know.
"Ricky", from Vesper.
I will not be able to attend, as I live too far.
But I still Love the Both of You.

Much love, Vickie Dowling and Shahin Tavili
