Eric I only had the chance to get to know you through Facebook. Your daughter and I became great friends when my daddy passed away. You fought so hard and it was just time for the Lord to have you back. God bless your family for fighting with you. You definitely were strong and an inspiration to all. Sending my love to your family and friends.

I didn't know you for all that long but in that time I came to absolutely adore you I miss being able to come up and just sit and chat with you for a few hours you would always listen to my bitching and complaining but u never once told me to stop or yelled at me or put me down you would just look at me smile and tell me it's OK everything's fine now and thats what matters I'm gonna miss u

We met when I was twenty five and I'd dreamt of you my whole life. I finally got my daddy! You didn't dissapoint. We laughed we cried sharing anecdotes of our lives. We quickly developed a close and loving relationship one I already miss love you dad

My Grandpa was charming because when I was a kid he kept it real. He didn’t talk down to me, he talked to me like a person. I didn’t know him well, but well enough to know he was dynamic. In his later years he shared his music with me, and I found that behind the mask of the sarcastic bad boy was a wounded warrior, and a hopeless romantic. I love you grandpa. I’m sorry I wasn’t more there.

I met Eric who was Rick to me then when I was 15 years old. Always joking and calling me pizza as a nickname as I am Italian. In high school to become what he called me “ little sister”. I dated his older brother Michael all through high school. His laughter and ez going ways will always be with me. We remained friends all thru the years. I will miss him always. Rest ez friend .See u soon
