Those who knew Eric, knew of his gentle spirit and felt his warmth and kindness. This became most evident when he was with his boys, who were the love of his life. Eric was gifted with creativity. One of his many talents was guitar playing, of which he taught himself and composed his own music. Eric was very well read and knowledgeable on many topics often sounding like the ‘little professor’.
