So sorry to hear of your loss, I haven't seen Eric since HS but will always remember his kindness to a pretty shy person who never fit in. My condolences.

Eric was a great colleague to have at C-SPAN. We worked on many projects together like the American Presidents Series. I learned a lot from him. He will be missed.
