Eric and I only spent a short amount of time knowing each other. I remember visiting with him and Diane during the Christmas season of 2019. We visited two local holiday displays and spent some time getting to know each other. Diane and I have known each other much longer and I have enjoyed her loving and caring spirit. I know Eric will be dearly missed by many.
