I am sad to read this news. I have one of Eric's violins, purchased at Potter's violin shops while he was working there. I played many violins and didn't find my special one until they brought me one of Eric's creations.
From a brief chat, I could see he was unaware of how brilliant and talented he was.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Eric was a remarkable man who was taken from this world way too soon. I remember when he was born. He was exceptional from day one. I miss him dearly.
