I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Eric. I I know everyone at DOW Corning. DC 3, .You're sharing a lot of sympathy. Eric was a great person to work with. In the last few years after I retired i've been thinking a lot of him.

I met Eric and his mom Alice through the Tall in the Saddle Handicapped Riding Program back in the 1980s. 10 or so years later our paths crossed again when we both worked in the same department at Dow Corning, where I got to know him a little better. Eric was such a kind and gentle soul. He always had a sunny smile and made my day a little brighter. I always looked forward to his hand-made Christmas cards, which I continued to get even after I moved to a different department and then retired. Alice and family - I am so sorry for your loss.

Eric´s soft and gentle heart and his giant smile and strong hugs brought so much joy to my days when working with him at the Arnold Center. He loved his family and he would light up as his dear mother, Alice, would enter the room.
Eric was a character in many ways and had a fondness for ice-cream and the outdoors. He loved his home, doing art projects and animals. I will always remember his bright blue shirt and red suspenders.
Eric will be missed, my condolences and love go out to the Strack family.

Eric, you were always one of my favorite Special Olympics athletes! I have so many wonderful memories of you. I remember your dog Wolfe who was so big and he loved you so much. Now you´re in heaven with your dad and sister. We will miss you and you´re contagious smile ... and your suspenders ... and your love of Elvis!

Always a hug and a smile. Baked cookies with a smile and coffee. Loved his sports with Mom Alice. Adored his fur babies. A heart full of love. Loved and adored his sisters, looked forward in seeing them. Loved seeing everyone. He loved people. One thing he disliked was leaves falling that he thought he had taken care of and turned around and they were back. He gave up. So many funny and special moments that are personal. Alice, to you and your family. You have a gem. He' now spreading his love. Peace be with you all. Donation to his furry friends, indeed. Love Dana and Larry.

Eric truly knew how to put a smile on your face and give the best hugs! Eric´s work ethic shined and his dedication to his job truly showed. I loved talking about golf with him as well! He will truly be missed and my deepest condolences to his family!

Eric was loving and compassionate to everyone he encountered. He genuinely cared about people. Eric was a truly good person and when he smiled at you, you couldn't help but smile back.
God's blessings to those he left behind.
I was Eric's job coach at Dow Corning,
And he always did his job with all his might. No half way for Eric. What a great man, the world is a lesser place because of his passing.
