Absolutely devastated to have just heard of the news of Eric's passing. I worked with Eric at many CLCS, ASME Power and other Condenser related Conferences over many years. He was the consummate industry professional, but more importantly, he had a very helpful, friendly and generous nature. Very sad to hear this news, quite dumbfounded. I didn't know his family, but they should all be very proud of Eric. It was a distinct pleasure and an honor to have known and worked with you Eric. 

I can not say enough good things about you.  You are an amazing person and always interested in how you could help.  Told my partner Mike Horn 15 years ago, if something happen to me, get a hold of Eric and let him grow into Plastocor.  Mitch will really miss his friend and I'll be looking for you down the road.

Mr. and Mrs. Fayard and family,  I am so very sorry to have learned of the loss of your beloved son and brother, Eric. He was a light in the world wherever he went.
Please accept my most sincere condolences on your loss.
Don Kelly


Eric was so much fun and so helpful to Marty and me as rookies in the 2019 Great Race (and at the VCRA practice rally in Missouri).  It was a shock to hear he had passed.  We are honored to have met him even for a brief time—he made a wonderful impression on us. 

Our condolences to his family. 

Eric was my direct manager at RetubeCo. The few short years I worked with/for him I can honestly say he brought out the best in me as an employee... He was a leader, the manager who facilitated me in whatever I needed to get the job done right! There was never a Friday that went buy that I didn't get a text on the way home telling me that he appreciated all the hard work. I will miss that and hope that someday I can return the favor. We had a lot of work yet to do, Eric. I'm just hoping that I can develop the same keen business sense you had my friend. I was truly blessed by all the laughs and the confidence he built in me professionally.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family during these times. God Bless. -Neal

I, like others, am completely shocked by this news.  Eric was always a joy to be around.  My sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones.  Rest In Peace my friend.  You will truly be missed.

My heart is saddened to hear of the loss of a dear colleague and friend.  My heartfelt condolences to his family.  Eric was always a pleasure to work with and always made me laugh.    The industry will not be the same without him.  Rest in peace dear friend.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Eric's family.  Knowing Eric was an experience and privilege we are truly grateful for.  (Including  his cavalry like relief of this over matched Navigator!)  Eric, his smile, warmth,  and  "can do"  exuberance  will not be forgotten. Thank you Eric.

Daddy , I miss you so much already . I will always appreciate and cherish the love you showed me especially when I wasn’t so lovable . You’re such a hard worker , and a great friend to others . You’re mannerisms are unmatchable , so unique and hilarious I will forever miss your jokes and making me laugh . I hope you’re resting easy , and looking down on me and keep giving me the strength to move forward without you . I love you forever deeds. 

Every day I see a little bit of Eric’s influence around me. A friend, major contributor, fixer, motivator, visionary, wonderful human being, delightful soul and inspiration. My days going forward will be a little less colorful, but my life has been truly enriched having known Eric. Always engaged and when it came to cars working on the next deal. I believe when the free Sirius XM subscription expired it was time to flip the car. With his influence I wound up with two more motorcycles and a Hellcat. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.

I met Eric during the Great Race, when he took over navigating duties for Ed.  By that time, I'd been calling Ed "Mr. Burns," -- of The Simpsons fame, because my impression -- right or wrong -- was that he built nuclear power plants. So, naturally, when Eric came along I had to call him "Smithers." Eric didn't like the name at first. But after we wouldn't let it go, Eric adopted the name. He got to the point where he'd yell, in a Burnsian tone, "Release the Hounds!" when we'd meet him at a stoplight. Eric had the most refined sense of propriety of anyone I've known.  He was unflappable, mannered, and managed to look well-kept even after a long, stinky day in the car. The members of our race team have exactly none of those attributes. At the end of the race night, we'd try to park our car next to Ed's -- mostly to irritate Ed while he was working on his Jag, which was essentially nightly.  We'd grab Eric, and sing old show tunes with him while Ed was grumbling underneath the car. "C'mon, Mr. Burns, fix the reactor!"  Afterward, we'd go have a cocktail -- the trim and nattily dressed Eric bookended by overweight, loud and uncouth slobs in greasy coveralls. We enjoyed Eric's company, and we sense that he liked being around an unfolding trainwreck --if only for a moment. Eric was a treasure.  There are no more like him -- not that I've met anyway. Good night, Smithers. We'll release the hounds for you. 

Eric was one of the most delightful people I ever worked with. He was kind, smart, funny and extremely capable. After I retired from Retubeco in 2015, Eric would text me every-so-often and we would go to lunch - which was always a pleasure. Eric and our coworker Mark came out to our house a few years ago and Eric took a keen interest in the horses. A very good time it was. 

My heart goes out to Eric's family in this time of sadness. I have known and interacted with Eric for many years. He was always professional and opimistic in all our business dealings.
He will be missed!!

To Eric's family:
    Eric was a wonderful colleague and friend to Ed and me.  He was always willing to help with any project and often motivated Ed to move forward.   Words cannot really convey what Eric meant to everyone around him.  We will miss his positive outlook and motivating personality.   My heart breaks for the family and for those of us in Ooltewah who loved Eric dearly.

I will always keep asking myself, "What would Eric do?"

Ben & Sara, and Bob & Carolyn,  I'm deeply sorry for your loss.  
I have lots of pictures of Eric taken over the many years I have known him.  This is one of my favorites.  I call it Eric working, Really!
At the start of first Great Race we teamed on he kept introducing me as his boss.  I corrected him.  We are teammates.  That was the point years ago that really solidified our business and personal relationship.
His very basic goal was to help people be successful.  His heart was in it and he was very good at it.  Anytime anything  came up where he could help,  he was instantly on it.  He made a tremendous difference in our business and more importantly, in my life.   We all miss him. 

While I remain at a loss of words, my heart goes out to Sarah and Ben, their mother, and their grandparents.  Eric was a good friend,  colleague and companion.  I had the pleasure to spend several years with him, during that time we shared many laughs, enjoyed mutual friendships, traveled a great deal and  achieved many accomplishments. Eric was very creative as an idea man, all inclusive and aimed to please.  We worked hard and played hard.  I will miss him dearly.  For Ben and Sarah I give a big hug, and let you know your father was very proud of each of you.  To his parents I say you did a wonderful job in raising such a kind and loving man. 

To Eric,

 "May the road rise up to meet you, and may the wind be always at your back..."

Bob, Carolyn and family.  Sorry for the loss of your son. May the strength of family and friends get you through this time. Our prayers are with you. Brian and Pat

My prayer is your family feels God's present during these troubling times.

Bob, Carolyn and family
 I was saddened to read in the paper of the loss of  your son Eric and can only imagine the grief you as parents must feel . There is a great consolation in knowing we can see our loved one again one day.  Be assured that you and your family are in my prayers. God bless !!
