Eric, I think back to middle school waiting for the bus with you and how you'd all make us laugh and smile even so early in the morning. I remember you quoting George Carlin and just being overall so bright and witty. My heart hurts to hear the news of your passing and I wish your family and loved ones healing in this extremely difficult time.

Eric was one of my favorite students of all time. He was enthusiastic about every aspect of classroom activity: learning, creating, and engaging with his peers. I called him Massar, and when I saw him several years ago at Smoky Oak, he told loved the nickname. Such a wonderful human being whose life affected so many others.
