Eric’s smile was contagious and was always
Fun to hang with back in the day!
I have many fond memories of him from the old WW
Neighborhood! We will be deeply missed!
Eric had such a friendly personality in high school and always had me laughing. We had history together and we quickly became friends. I’m so saddened to hear the news and am praying for your family. I will always remember his kind eyes and contagious smile. God bless!
My heart has been so sad today, remembering Eric.I have nothing but happy, fun memories of him. He had such a good heart and was always a good friend who always made me smile! I so wish I had called him!! Please know I am praying for your family during this difficult time.
Eric was a big part of my life growing up in Windsor Woods. His larger-than-life personality coupled with unlimited energy is what drew me and I’m sure many others to want to be around him. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do whether it was surfing, skiing, wake boarding or just hanging out laughing at life. You left way too soon old friend. You will be missed.

Sorry to hear this sad news. The last time I saw Eric was many years ago. I was visiting VB and went for a round of golf at Bow Creek , We joined up as a foursome and had a fun time cutting up about the PAHS days. I hope you all find peace especially his childen. You’re Dad was a good guy with a great heart.
There are simply no words that convey the sorrow we feel in our hearts. Our prayers go out to Eric’s children, parents and family. We will always remember his fun-loving and free spirit, when we were younger “back in the day.” Sending our love…
On behalf of our entire family, Eric will be greatly missed. Our prayers are for you, our hearts feel your grief and pain. Eric was part of our family too, and we will always honer his efforts to be a caring father, a reliable friend, and an example of kindness to all. It breaks our hearts as we say farewell.

Eric was a kind spirit, full of humor, wit, and a gentleness most often expressed through his eyes. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss; my prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences go out to Nick and Ann and their Family. We can not imagine the sorrow and pain of loosing a child. Although much time has passed since our last time around Eric, he was always full of life as a young man, outgoing and friendly to all. We pray that family and friends will provide comfort to Nick and Ann during this most difficult time.
God Bless.
Nick, Ann, and family,
It was heartbreaking to hear the news about Eric. You have many friends- like us- and family who are lifting you up in prayer, for comfort and kindnesses during this time of sadness. Eric used to give me some kidding out at the pipeline because I was “hanging around with a bunch of old guys”; he said it with a smile and that’s how I remember him.
with much sympathy,
Tracy &Ben Stoline and family
