Earlier today

My deep condolences to the Williams and Strong families. I had the pleasure of meeting Eric when his daughter Erin was growing up w my daughter; at swimming practices. He was always nice, cordial with an air of coolness to his demeanor. A faithful worker, he took care of business and supported his family. During this difficult time sending prayers and encouragement to embellish good times and treasured memories.
RIP
