“Eric was good at playing the guitar and singing, playing pool, chess, camping, walking, spending time with his daughter and family. He was an expert at playing with the yo-yo. He loved children and they loved him. He had a unique sense of humor and an irresistible smile.
“At his memorial service several of his friends spoke and had nice things to say, some of which were quite humorous.
