The doorbell rang at our pre- wedding gathering in Az. 1997. "Hey Goby whats happening!" With that famous Eric grin. Never a dull moment with Day Day in the house. Knew no strangers, a life well lived. As my brother Kraig said to mom "My heart has a big painful hole in it." I can only imagine the welcome to heaven gathering he had waiting for him. Found 2 pictures from the that weekend that made me smile thought I'd share. Yes, smiling & laughing are happening. Was a pleasure & honor to know you Sir.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Eric's passing. We met early in High School singing and in band. He loved singing, and after High School he formed a Quartet that often sang publicly. His Quartet that even won a talent contest held at Sandburg Mall, we were so happy! I will miss him deeply.

Eric was one of the most joyful people I ever met. He worked for me when he was in high school and I never saw him without a big smile. Joyful, upbeat and having unconditional love for others are what come to mind when I think of him. He will leave behind a positive footprint for a life well lived and what more could a person hope for?

I am heartbroken to see this news. Eric was a joy to work with at Cottage. Even when he was having a bad day, he always had a smile and a "have a great day" for me. He was truly one of my favorite people to work with. Thinking of his loved ones in this tough time.
