Eric Paul Height

Eric Paul Height, 32, of South Glastonbury, passed away unexpectedly from an unknown heart condition on Friday, February 3, 2017 at his home. Born in Hartford on April 2, 1984, a loving son of Kenneth P. and Debra J. (Ladue) Height, he had resided in South Glastonbury for most of his life.
