I've been trying to put into words my very scattered thoughts. We are all so so very sorry that Eric was taken away so suddenly and so soon in his life. Working with Eric was always a day to look forward to. With his stories, his laughter and his way of listening to some of us when we came to him with our troubles. He will be greatly missed and remembered forever. Hold his memory close to your hearts and know how many lives he touched.
