So sorry for your loss Rick & Margaret
With my deepest sympathy, Mary
We have such wonderful memories of Eric, from our Braintree & Falmouth days together.
Eric was kind and more importantly, genuine. Those two characteristics are rare qualities people these days don’t often possess. He was a person everybody always wanted to have around. Rightfully so. Eric hung in many different circles and had many different friends- his loyalty and friendship were a real hot commodity. I consider it an honor to have known him and am proud to say Eric was my good friend. He’s not someone that will be forgotten, which makes his passing that much harder. If I could share one last conversation with him I’d tell him how much I admire him as a father, I love you so much and miss you already brother. ☘️
