Eric was born at Resthaven Hospital in Sidney on October 5, 1944 and died October 21, 2025. He is survived by Carole, his wife and best friend for 55 years. He was dearly loved by his brother, John and sisters, Ruth and Anne (Jack). His nieces and nephews were so important to him as were his Saskatchewan family, especially Einar. He was GrandE to our chosen family, Dana, Tim, Sophie and Marin and they brought him so much joy. His friends were special and neighbours will miss his cheery willingness to help. Many will miss his meticulous car detailing where all the best qualities of Eric were on display - his work ethic and his very caring personality.
