Eric, I miss riding motorcycles with you, screaming down the road, without a helmet, at over 100 mph, to Pismo, Yosemite, Kings Canyon National Park... Your Kawasaki KZ1000 was the coolest motorcycle ever, and you looked so cool riding it. You had incredible taste choosing vehicles. The KZ1000 and the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum were extraordinary. I gained a great deal of automotive repair experience from you, helping you rebuild the Dodge Charger. It is knowledge I continue to use today. Speaking of today, October 2nd, 2025, around 5pm, Thursday, you contacted me through the spirit letting me know you were on the other side. I immediately searched you on Google and found your obituary. Needless to say, I have for many years tried to contact you, leaving messages on your phone, etc.. The year 2023, I went into remission, from Prostate and Colon cancer... thinking you too may have had cancer, I wanted to share my cure with you.
Nevertheless, I have great memories of our years and will hold them near to my heart.
Thank you, my friend!
Love Light and Blessings to you.
