I just received the Christmas Card back from Eric's mother that I had sent to him and Jacky. It's been about 3 years since I saw them but I usually got a Christmas card every year. I am so sad to hear of Eric's passing. I worked with him at Cheltenham York Road Nursing Home. He was the night supervisor and always walked me to my car because I always stayed too late. We had a lot of fun together and would often go out together. I used to go out with him and Jacky and was around when they were married and also when his brother Shawn was killed. Eric really struggled with accepting that and I always tried to be a friend to him. I hope he felt supported and loved because he was. He helped me move into my first home and was always there when I needed a friend. I want to thank his mother for sending me the note to let me know of his passing and my sympathies for the loss of both her sons. Rest in peace my friend. I'll miss you.-----Jean

It was extremely sad to hear about Eric's passing. I grew up with Eric and Shawn in Glenolden (lived 2 doors away) and had heard about Shawn's death sometime back, but only recently heard about this. We were friends but like kids can be, we didn't always get along. Although I hadn't kept in touch with them over the years, I wanted to pass along my condolences to his mother Dorothy and his friends and family that cared about he and his brother. It's great to see this page and all the great memories people had of Eric and Shawn. You guys will be missed and will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry I didn't know you were sick. A lot of time had passed by. I would have been there for you as you were there for me when I needed a friend. I will always remember working together at the hospital, sharing a cup of coffee and talking, eating pints of Ben&Jerry's. You were a true friend anyone would have been lucky to have. I hope you find peace and comfort knowing you will be greatly missed by all of those whose lives you have touched. You will always be in my heart, I hope you know how much you meant to me. Until we meet again.... Kim

I knew Eric his entire life. I will think of him often in the years to come. We spent many summers, Easters, and Thanksgivings, at our house when we were growing up. I even got to spend a summer in PA with them once. I know Eric ,has been missing his brother Shawn, for many years. The are now together. In my mind they are still little boys playing in the back yard. It is hard to think of both of them no longer here on earth with us. I am sure there will be many stories told around our family dinners about Eric and Shawn. For those who knew Eric's taste for hot and spicy foods here is the one our family will remember-he came to Winchester, VA about 2 years ago and we took him out to dinner. The place we took him to is known for their really HOT wings. Eric order the hottest wings on the menu. When he tried to eat them, he broke out into a sweat and tears in his eyes. He started drinking his coke and drinking the bllue cheese dressing. He could not even finish eating This is a story that my family will always remember and talk about. Eric you will be missed by all of us.

E is 1 of my best buds,we would hang out late at night passing jams back of forth having a blast.His fav song is Thunderstruck from AC/DC,every night we would listen to it.We would have fun playing in tours but not near as much fun jamming to tunes.When either one of us are sad we would just play some of of fav songs and the smiles would just appear.I'm not sure why but he's always worried about me.So I'd check in every day.He helped me out alot when i became a TD for our league.Made sure i stayed on the straighten arrow.He never wanted to see anyone fail,I know he is very pround that i made HTD.The picture of Dummie and me is his fav,he says we look at peace.E always says there is a difference between friends and buds,friends will bail you out of jail,a bud will be in the cell next to you saying "Man that was fun" I know we will meet someday in heaven

I have hundreds of memories of E, he always made me smile and laugh whenever we were playing on pogo. The first time he played in a tourney of mine he had me in tears, such a cut-up! But there is one night a few months ago when my 8 yr. old daughter was sick, the dr"s couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, they had mentioned the possibility of cancer and I was scared to death. Next thing I know I was on the phone with Eric, he talked to me for quite a while that night giving me advice and information. I'm sure that couldn't have been easy for him, but that's who he was. He will forever hold a special place in my heart for I'm sure I will never know another quite like him. Miss ya E!!!

It's always a shock to loss someone we know, more so when it's someone so young and caring. You always came in with a "good morning lovely ladies" and I hope you knew how much we all enjoyed you wit and humor. I feel very honored to have been one you concidered a friend. Sleep well my friend and look down on us with a smile.

I sit here and I read all of these wonderful memories of you... and it brings tears to my eyes. You so touched each and every one of us and we were all blessed to have such a great person touch our lives. We didn't have much time to get to know each other that well, but I am glad that I had a chance to know you. You brought smiles to so many people. May you rest in peace with the Lord my friend, where there is no longer any pain nor sorrow or tears for you. And may you know how truly missed and loved you are. Til we meet again in Heaven Eric!

We weren't as close as many, but you were always one to make me smile. I'm glad we knew each and other and you will be remembered. Out fun was for me to give you a hard time and call you ERIC instead of E and you would answer by saying what LISA who you talking to? Love you and may god be with you and in our hearts you will always be.

Eric was a kind gentle man who cared for all. I remember having conversations with him about the league he was a Head TD at and he would tell me once in awhile he liked to put his on-line messenger on invisible so he could get away from the responsiblities of his job. He was very exciting about becoming a DJ at Hot Rocks Radio and I know he would have been great at it. My God keep you safe in the heavens about Eric. I know I speak for everyone when I tell say how much you will be missed. Patrick Lazie

I have only known Eric for such a short time, and only online, but he touched my heart and the hearts of many in a gaming league. He would come to my tours and first thing out of his mouth was Good Morning Ladies, and puncuate with hearts and kisses. I talked to him several times on Skype and he was such a gentlle soul. He never wanted people to know he was not well and have people feel sorry for him. E you will be missed so much hun. Please take care of his dog , Eric loved him so. LOVE TO YOU E, Judy

I met eric a few months ago when i went into HRR while at work... i was bored and so he and i started talking and really got to know each other. From there it was pretty much an every night thing.. There are not too many ppl i open up to like i did eric. I think he was the only one that really has been told every thing that has happened to me in my life except for my husband. There was just something about him that drew me to him immediately and we became very close friends. Many ppl scoff at the idea that because we were friends thru the computer that we were not true friends. Let me say to that ... In all reality i think you can become closer friends when you are online..there is no fear of rejection because of looks..size..hair..lack of hair..bad teeth or anything else. You can truly be yourself and not have that fear. We can hide behind the keyboard and monitor screens and know that if we are just nice enough or funny enough or silly enough..we will find a friend. That was not the case with eric..he was himself from the start..and no matter what he excepted you as you were. No questions asked. So maybe i didnt know him a long period of time..maybe i only knew him online.. But i will say..he became one of my closest, dearest, truest and most loved friends i have ever had. I will forever remember him and love him with all my heart. My heart is both broken and happy..its truly a bittersweet moment in my life. Bitter because i have lost someone so special to me..and yet sweet..because my friend is no longer in pain. So i say ... RIP my friend... you are always loved and remembered both in person and online.

I haven't seen Eric in over 25 years. He, Shawn and I grew up on the same street in Glenolden from the time I was 4 until the time I was 9 or 10. Some various memories: - We used to go camping with them and their father, Danny. We were all assigned animal code names for a rousing game of flashlight tag (Eric was the groundhog.) He was a chubby little guy back then. - Eric helped teach me how to swim. My dad told him he'd buy him a mask and a snorkel if he could get me to pass my deep water certification at the Glenolden Swim Club, so Eric took me up to the snack bar and fed me Jolly Rancher sticks ("You need to burn this for energy!") - He knew the combination to my bike lock, and he would tease me by singing it in song form to a tune from "The Little Rascals." - And lastly, he accidentally slammed my thumb in the trunk of his mom's Dodge. It actually locked(!) so he had to run back inside to get the key. Nothing a good soak in some ice water couldn't fix. I wish I had more for you but the memories get a little rusty. So sad to hear about the two of them. Rest in peace, old friend.

My memories of Eric are how he would always use my first name in the league,he was so respectful. I'll never forget when he made HTD I begged Tammy to let me tell him and when I told him he was so shocked but so very happy,it really made my day to know I had made someone so happy. I will miss his smile and seeing him come into the rooms and lighting them up. Heaven has gained a amazing new angel. Take care my friend until we meet again. Danielle

Whenever Eric and I went out to dinner, he was such a gentleman. It will be very hard to find another man that can make such an impression on a woman. The time we have spent either on the phone, chatting or in person will never be replaced, but will live on forever in my heart.

I didn't know Eric as well as most of you did, but I loved what I did know of him. He was always tuned in when I was djing, and would come into the chat box and be the brat that he was lol. I talked to him on the phone one day, when I was having an extremely bad day, and that's when I learned about his illness. It made me realize that my bad day was nothing, in comparison to what he was dealing with everyday. I feel cheated, as I will never have the kind of close friendship that he has had with many of you, but all the same, I do feel that having known him at all, was a blessing to my life, and I will never forget him!
