To all who loved Eric,

We are truly sorry for your loss. It is so sad to say goodbye to such a beautiful soul. It was our great fortune to have known him and to enjoy his fine music and cooking during wonderful times together at the beach. We will never forget Eric.

Dear David, Susan, Amy, Jill and Family,

Terri and I cannot know your pain at this most difficult moment.
What we do know is your Strength, your Love and most importantly your Faith.
None of us can know Gods plan, but in thinking about Eric we speculate that God needed a really good Bass Player wrapped up in a truly fine and solid Man.
Please know that you are all in our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers.

Always,

Bethany Haas
