One of the last times we communicated was at Easter a few years ago - when you recited John 3:16. I still can't believe you have passed...but so thankful that you are with the Lord Jesus in Heaven and confident that you are, indeed, resting in peace. Until we meet again. God bless and be yours...may He continue to comfort them.

I'm sure going to miss you, E.  You were a great mentor and friend.  You taught me so much about people, business, life, friendship and golf.  

The world is definitely a better place because you were (are) in it!  You have affected the lives of so many in such significant ways that a part of you will always live on.  

Until we meet again...

Godspeed Eric. Know that you have inspired, brightened, and energized more lives than you could imagine. May your family and loved ones be comforted by wonderful memories of great times shared with you. From your kindness extended to me, a dorky newcomer in the sixth grade, through your meritorious career, you have been a true and good friend.

I have not seen Eric since High School but last year we did reconnect online. It was great to her from him and we really enjoyed comparing our 42 years since graduation. What I remember best about Eric was his patience and his insight of life. Even back in school he might have been the quiet one but he was always thinking. RIP Eric RIP

Godspeed Eric, you will live on in the many hearts of those you touched by your kindness.  My deepest sympathy to your family and loved ones, may comfort be found in the great love you held for them.  I will miss you my friend and will always be grateful our paths crossed once again

Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family.On behalf of Symmetry LLC

Eric, 
Will always remember you as a great mentor and certainly as a very good golfer.  Was always impressed with your tenacity to pursue me to join Oracle then follow you to Deloitte. I will always be indebted to you for those opportunities. Your drive was an inspiration that I carry with me today.  Great memories my friend of our Myrtle Beach golf trip together along with Adam.  Rest in peace.  We shall meet again.

RIP Eric and may God bless and comfort your family. Our time on earth is known but only to God and believing in him will grant all believers eternal rest and peace. My personal condolences to his children and extended family.

Be at Peace Son-inlaw when I think of you I remember when you helped me coach Robs flag football team at charter oak Park. You will always be locked in my memories with the two wonderful Grand children you gave me Jade and Adam . hope to see you again in Heaven. Dad Hanes

Eric,

I've been blessed to meet and know you. Thank you for your guidance and friendship. Rest in Peace and until we meet again on the other side.
