There are times throughout the year that something will spark a memory of you in my mind. It seems like a lifetime ago that we all would play together, either playing winter football at the Latus house. Baseball at the old school or hockey at the firehouse. It was a great childhood, you and Eric live in my memories. You went much too young my friend.

Grew up with Eric and Ed in Stittville. We played every sport imaginable. I was devastated to hear of his loss. Eric was truly a great guy with a strong spirit. More memories than I can even count. My heart aches for his family. God rest your soul my friend.
