Eric enjoyed any sport that involved a ball and played baseball, basketball and football in grade school and high school. He loved to talk sports and was able to recite scores and stats for almost any sport and player. He also enjoyed hanging out with his family and friends, barbequeing or going to casinos. Eric never met a stranger and made friends wherever he went. He was definitely a one of kind, extraordinary individual. We will miss him.
We would like to thank Hoffman Hospice for their wonderful care and the comfort they provided him during his last days.
