Eric was a "member" of the Branson family for many many years. We all called him Uncle Bob because when my son Eric was about 3yrs old he pointed to him and said " no, he's Uncle Bob. Guess he didnt think they should have the same name!We all have alot of good memories dating back to college at Ball State and well into our adult lives. Rest in peace my friend.
