I first met Eric when I worked in Toronto and Eric was one of our clients. We became close acquaintances and kept in touch over the years and often met up at various conferences both in Canada and the USA. I don't think I know anyone who enjoyed life as much as Eric. He was always smiling, great with a joke and always ready to offer his help. It was a pleasure knowing him. I also want to say that I was very fortunate to speak with him briefly a few days before he passed. I will miss him and extend my deepest condolences to his wife and son. Oh and gosh could this man draw! Amazing talent

Eric was a favourite client of mine when I worked for Scotiabank. He was always a tough negotiator, but we had fun along the way. He and Karen came to my housewarming and I'll never forget poor Ryan who was rally young at the time, ate a huge spoonful of hot mustard by mistake! All my memories of Eric are as a fun loving, family oriented man who loved life. RIP Friend and deepest condolences to Karen, Ryan and all who loved him. He was one of the best .

Uncle Eric will be missed so very much at every holiday dinner and family get together. From helping whip buns around and having so many stomach hurting laughs..... He was one of the greats that's for sure. He kept the humor alive in our family. He taught me so much from computer stuff to how to stay strong and happy. I love you so much Uncle, you were my favorite uncle!! I'll hold you in my heart forever ♡♡♡♡

Dear Karen, Ryan & Family, We’re so sorry for your loss. Eric meant so much to us, & we hope it brings a little comfort to know how many lives he touched, including ours. To us, he was Airman, a nickname Samuel gave him, & one Eric returned with “SamMan.” Summers at Whitefish Lake were always more fun with Eric around. Whether it was wild jet ski rides, golf cart & ATV adventures, or dancing on the deck with music cranked all the way up, he brought the energy, the laughs, & the joy. He was the best dance partner, always ready with the perfect move & an even better joke. His classic one-liners & those hilarious reels had us all laughing. We’ll always remember the happy hours that turned into late nights, the FaceTimes, the stories from your trips with Mom & Gary, the laughs with “the peeps,” & the silly moments, like sneaking up on him during his afternoon naps. Eric had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged. He loved big, lived fully, & made life a lot more fun. We’re all better for having known him. We love you, Airman. You’ll always be with us. With love, Kelly, Olivia & SamMan
