This is just heartbreaking. Eric was a kind and generous man. He was one of those friends who, if he didn´t see or talk to you once a week, would call or text to check on you. He invited me to Thanksgiving dinner at his apartment this past year. I can't remember the last time I laughed and had such a good time. You will be missed, my friend.

I love my uncle. Even though he had a life in New York, he would always come visit my grandmother (his mother), and our other family members during holidays, and during my grandmother´s birthday. I will miss him so much as well as seeing him with his fur baby. Rest in peace dear Uncle.
