I'm deeply saddened by this news. My fondest memory is Eric accepted everyone you were never a stranger. Many days just sitting and talking on that famous front porch. So grateful that he touch my life with his kindness. We both shared a love for our Memphis Tigers and St.Louis Cardinals.

Eric you will be missed by many. I will miss that smile and the conversations we use to have sitting under the gazebo and the rides home from work. I remember I would always walk around Rutland at night and there you were sitting on your porch or under the gazebo, I would always sit with you until you said ok Old Lady I am going in now. Fly high Old Man. ๐๐พ
