I was heart broken to learn of Eric's passing. He was a great man and his joy was contagious. I can't say this of everyone, but I remember the day I met him. And that was well over 20 years ago. My prayers continue for his family and all who knew and loved him.
Steve Ormand left a message on July 19, 2018:
The world has lost one of the great ones. Eric has been my buddy for as long as I can remember. Always had a way of lifting you up when you were feeling down and reminding you of how grateful you should be for what you have. He never backed down from a challenge and was an admirable "Wheeler Dealer". If he didn't have something you wanted or needed, he "knew a guy". This news is a complete shock for me. My heart breaks for his family. Wendy and the girls were his driving force. My prayers for you all. RIP Eric. We shall meet again my friend. Love you brother and will miss you.

I was Eric's line coach for the mighty Aubrey Chaparrals, and he was so much fun to coach. Always tried his hardest and always had a smile. That's what I will remember most - his smile. I was not surprised at all when I'd heard he was a Marine. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and girls. I know how much he loved you all. I'm so sorry.
