Condolences to the Allgood family. I remember Eric playing in the best high school band (South) in the land with my older brother Gavin. He's now playing in that heavenly band. Absent from the body is to be in the very presence of the Lord.

I have been checking out the guest book ever since it was started. I am glad that it is still there. My grandson lives in the same apartment complex. I was looking forward to meeting Eric as I had heard so much good about him. He moved on before I had a chance. But through the guest book I am learning about how many people loved and respected Eric. God Bless you.

To the Allgood Family:
Extending our deepest and sincere sympathy for the loss of one of the kindest people we knew.
Eric has been a part of our lives since grade school. We saw him playing in the South High "Big Blue" band, & hung out with him and the Revelation Funk. As a fireman-paramedic, we came in contact with Eric when he responded to calls for our Mom. It was always a comfort to her to see Eric. She knew she was in good hands.
Eric's work here is done. He's playing for the Heavenly Band
and loving every moment.
God Bless,
Linda Price Anderson & Family

To the Allgood Family:
God Bless and my deepest sympathy. Eric and I attended South High School together. We have many memories. We had South High (anybody who attended South High cannot forget South High), contrary to popular belife,we did get an education, the South High Talent shows, "Revelation Funk", the movie Dolemite and the bands move to Los Angeles. We got back in touch recently and talked via phone. We share life's ups and downs. Eric is one of the best musicians I have ever known and I love him. He will be surely missed. Again, God Bless you all and he will always be in my heart. To a real brother, I Love You. Melvin "TNT" Brown.

To William and Gina:
Your brother Ricky is resting in peace with your Mom and my best friend, Frances. I will always remember how much Ricky loved all of you. At times, it was difficult for him to show it. He had such a strong and "mucho" character. I also recall how he cared for his mother during her illness. Now, he is with Frances and in the best of care. God bless you and keep you safe. Remember, good memories never fade away. Keep the Faith! Love you always!

William and family,
I know the years have gone by, but it is hard to believe that Rick who loved to smile and to play his horn are no longer with us. I listened to his playing and talked with him before I moved. Please be encouraged that at all times Rick, Gina, and you were always loved by your caring mother, Fran who extended that love to me and my family.
My prayers and love.
Miss Dorothy

To the Allgood Family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. Eric and I graduated together from South High School. I remember his beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. I never saw him again until we met in a Sunday School Class at the Arlington Church of God. The class was entitled "Crash the Devil's Party". I will always remember Eric for the uplifting, life changing, and thought provoking conversations that he shared with the class. May his soul RIP.

My heart hurts too much to know
what to say! Eric gave me some good
advice once not too long ago.He told
me to trust God and Believe in my
self,the way he said was more inspired.Saturday the 18th I had a birthday party in the pool room at Allen Dickson,Eric was there and me
and him played a couple games.
Then I went home.Monday I went to
Akron university's open house I never got a chance to share that with Eric but sure he knows. I aplide to the university Friday.
I'm sorry we lost him much love too

I learned today of Eric's passing and I felt heartbroken. I had the pleasure of meeting him in December and getting to know him. He always worked hard and would do his best, pushing himself to do better each time. I am comforted in knowing he is in heaven doing all the things that were a challenge to him here on earth!
