Eric was someone who never judged you. Much like his Dad, had the gift of gab. We spent many a weekend, playing card and enjoying a beer. He liked helping people less fortunate than himself. I will miss our friendship. R.I.P. my friend….

I am deeply sorry to hear of Eric’s passing. I had the privilege of working with Eric at MCLA as his electrical apprentice for nearly three years. He played a significant role in shaping me as an electrician, and the knowledge, guidance, and work ethic he instilled in me helped pave the way for the career I have today. Eric was a great man, an exceptional mentor, and a valued colleague. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and everyone whose lives he touched.
