Tributes
"Eric will be greatly missed in our "Hearts" game. Even though that wasn’t his favorite thing to do, he was a good sport and made us laugh. He loved the big meals that we shared! I will forever be thankful for Eric’s help when I remodeled by kitchen and backyard. He always had his workers there ASAP. He had a kind heart. I know what you are feeling and will always be here for you. Love you, Sandy"
"Eric was a great friend, always smiling and willing to help in any way he could. I proposed to my wife in Canada at Eric and Sandra’s summer home- camp as they called it. Sandra, anything you need, we are here for you. We will miss you buddy, rest in peace."
"A very sad event for many who knew Big E. I already miss him even though I didn’t see him very ofton, but when I did he always had a way of lighting a spark in me. When we would first arrive at our beach house as his neighbor, we would look for Big E and Sandra and be excited if they were there as well judt knowing we would give each other a hard time and that there would be some great moments together. I’m especially sorry not to have hooked up with Big E and Sandra since their move to the new residence."
"Sandra, we are saddened and shocked by Eric’s passing. To us he was bigger than life. The times we shared with you and Eric were great. He really was a great big teddy bear with a heart of gold. He will be sadly missed. Remember we are here for you! We love you and we loved Eric. God Bless"
"Rest in Peace Eric We enjoyed making your Tshirts and your friendship."
"It was wonderful having a neighbor who was always willing to lend a hand whenever needed. His humor and good heartedness will most certainly be missed. For sure, he is helping out in heaven now and most likely playing a few pranks. We will miss your spirit Eric, and upbeat attitude."
"Sandra, My deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your beloved husband, Eric. I know the hurt you are feeling now, I hope you can find a support system of caring friends and relatives to help you get through your grief. If I can help out in any way, please let me know. My thoughts are with you, in Friendship and Love Joanne Hummer"
