I am so sorry to hear about Eric. He and I were close friends since late elementary school. He was a great guy! Good memories. I was sorry to hear of Cindy’s passing as well. I saw him about a year ago, and we traded phone numbers, and said we were going to get together, and we hadn’t done it. Now we won’t get the chance. Until we meet again Eric!!

t´s hard to believe Eric has passed, but I can only imagine all the beautiful things he is seeing, those who he is getting to visit with again and the learning. Much of my memories of church and our camps included Eric, who had a way to make things a little more memorable. Without him there, none of it would have been near as much fun. These are great memories that I will hold onto! Sending prayers to the family for peace and comfort! Love each of you dearly!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Eric for around 22 years. I went for almost a year without even knowing his first name was Eric as he was always Boom to me. He was always a friendly person and was someone that I truly enjoyed working around. I am going to miss this big guy and I know many others will too. RIP Boom you will be missed my friend!
