God Bless Eric’s family and may they be comforted.
I have fond memories during Eric’s work life, his contribution to Huntsville’s local communication system: Maclean Hunter to Cogeco.
Good times also remembered socially with Eric, his jovial attitude and willingness to help when needed, are all part of the richness in relationships that make up a true community.
Both David and I were blessed to have known him.

Donna – I’m sorry for your loss. Eric was a kind and caring gentleman with quite a sense of humour. He had a battle but I’m sure many great memories will help you going forward.

Our thoughts are with all of Eric’s family. He slowly faded away until the end, but we have 50 odd years of memories to savour. Eric was a true friend, he will be missed by our whole family. Ken, Mardi & family
