So many wonderful memories of Eric and his whole family! Eric grew up with my son, since kindergarten they were friends. Some teachers used to confuse them as they looked alike. Eric and Corey bowled together for many years and we had many dinners and travels with the whole family. I love you all so much and honestly can't believe this. Eric you were definitely a joy to be around, always smiling! RIP Eric ! we will never forget you!
