Eric will be remembered for his dry, quick wit that was enjoyed by all who knew him. He was clever, funny, caring, selfless and willing to help anyone. His larger than life personality will be missed by all who knew and loved him. As a teenager, he signed up to be an organ donor and now a part of him will live on. A Celebration of Life is being planned.
