I think of you often my friend making the face heaven grow fond.

Not many people touched my life with their smile like Eric. He was and always will be one of a kind! The warmest, sweetest, funniest person that I had the pleasure to know . He will always have a place in my heart.

Michelle, Zach, Allie and Nik 
I am so sorry to hear this news. Eric always had a smile. He was so involved in school when you kids were at Kipling. My memories of him are of how friendly he was and how proud he always was of you. Love to you all.

Eric was one of those people who always had a smile. Always friendly and welcoming. A truly good soul who was taken way too soon. Rest In Peace. 

Eric & I traveled far and wide together and there never was a dull moment. He was a great friend. He was like a brother I never had. Eric was always there for the Santini family. Zac, Ali and Niki you were lucky to have this man as your father. We were all lucky to have him as a friend.

RIP


Eric and I worked together starting with Anixter then Antec, Arris and I’m sure a few other name changes. He always entered with a smile and was a good friend to many. He would routinely call to check in and catch up. I will miss our calls and my friend. He touched many in life in a positive way. I’m sure he will continue those efforts on the other side. 

Eric and I started in the telecommunications industry as unabashed, fearless, learners of technology, but most important customer advocates where we worked long hours and taught many life lessons through the Anixter blue book. Anixter/ Antec/ ONI/ Arris and many name iterations not only created employment and colleague relationship as we embraced the culture with values that bonded us through our lives. Eric was so proud of his children and always stated they were his greatest gifts.  Eric was an amazing person- leading with being a proud father, and following with all of his wonderful attributes that made him remarkable and memorable- funny, fun, kind, sweet, charming, genuine. Eric had a great personality and a smile to match. For forty years, I’ve been lucky to have his friendship. I’ll miss him terribly. I wish his family and friends deepest condolences. A shining star on earth has gone on to shine above .  

I had the pleasure of working with Eric for many years. He was a wonderful human being. He brightened any room he was in and was loved by all who had the pleasure of his company. The world is a sadder place without him and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

See you on the other side brother.

You will be missed my friend.  Every time I think of our trip to Arizona and specifically Starbucks, it makes me laugh.   That’s what you did, you brought smiles and happiness.  May GOD watch over your family.  My condolences to all your loved ones.   Fly high on wings of Angels until we meet again my friend. 

I met Eric at ASU -always happy always positive. Very very funny. Got to know Eric better later on in life. He was a very good man.  Too soon. So sorry.



May God bless your soul Eric and may your family continue on in the positive light you created for them. May the perpetual shine upon you and your family.  Special love goes out to all of you

My condolences to Eric's family.  I've known Eric since we were both young growing up in Skokie, then again in LA and finally, when I moved back to the Chicago suburbs.  He will be missed.  I'm so sorry for your loss.
