My condolences to the family. I remember meeting Erick for the first time about 25 years ago when he first started dating my cousin Tina. Praying for your entire family. Erick, may you rest in peace. You are loved and will never be forgotten.
My most sincere condolences to the family and friends. Erick you were a great man, son, husband, father and most of all grandfather. You meant so much to Erica and those babies. Fly high my friend and watch over her, Jamie, those babies and the rest of your family. There definitely is a void but I promise to help to get her through this tough time!
Erick was one of my students when I taught at Albert Harris. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed working with him and his parents. May you rest in peace.
