Eric was the most loyal friend you could ask for and a great coworker, He worked so hard and took his responsabilities to heart. Your cinnamon rolls in the morning were epic and our last conversation involved you texting me that recipe lol. God Bless you. I will miss our conversations and the talks we had about history and the Marines. I will miss you my Brother I will see you on the other side! Semper Fi. I love you brother.
