Eric was a shipmate of mine, while I was in VA-95 from the 85-88 timeframe. I remember him and his antics quite clearly. It's always sad to hear of another Navy brothers' passing. My condolences to his family during this difficult time. RIP Eric!

Eric made me smile and laugh every time I saw him. He and Ken were buds since kindergarten and he and our son Kody had become great friends over the last couple of years. I am so greatful for that! We were all truly blessed to have been his friend and will treasure our memories forever. R.I.P. Eric
