I think of Eric often. So sad his passing. What a tremendous knowledge of all things electronic and amateur radio.

Eric was a good friend, full of knowledge and stories and info. Amateur Radio brought us together. He spoke often about his family. So sorry for your loss.

Eric and I sometimes met at the Westover Speed Shop, on Washington Blvd. Eric was a successful drag racer in the 60's from the time he was about 18. He had a wealth of knowledge about increasing the performance of Chrysler V-8 engines.

Eric's family and my family live near the Four Mile Run stream and we would discuss the wildlife we frequently saw around our homes and in the neighborhood, especially deer and foxes, when we encountered each other, usually at the farmer's market.

Eric was great at "souping up" Chrysler V-8 powered vehicles during the 1960's. He and I took turns with our vehicles outracing each other at drag strips.
