My deepest sympathies to Eric’s family.
Eric was a great work colleague and a wonderful friend. We shared many laughs at the gym and constantly razzed each other about our favourite hockey teams.
He will certainly be missed and it was a privilege to know him.

Lucy and girls…I am so sorry to learn of Eric’s passing. Life is so unfair at times, and it’s difficult to process these sad events. Eric certainly has left this earth too soon! He was such a lovely soul. May you hold on to special moments shared with him, and may you hear his voice as you move through each day. He lives with each of you …. in your hearts.

Dear Lucy and family,
I am writing this with great sadness hearing about Eric. I will always remember the conversations, his positive look on life he shared and his humor. Mostly his friendly smile.
