Eric and I worked together many, many years ago. A couple of years ago he sent me an email telling me about his family, his career and his deep satisfaction with his life. It was wonderful to hear he was doing well! He was a very bright young man when I knew him and I was happy to know he stretched himself a bit to be who he could be! He was so proud of his family! I am thankful I was part of his life. My deep, deep condolences to his wife, children and other family.
