I am so devastated to speak of my Uncle Eric’s passing.
Eric was truly one of a kind! Had a laugh that made you feel whole and was recognizable from anywhere in a room.
My favorite memory of Eric was a time at my grandparents cottage. A group of us was going from one cottage across the street to my grandparents cottage. My uncle Jeff thought it was a fantastic idea to go tough the woods instead of take the driveway.
We are walking through the deep, dark woods and all of a sudden hear a shuffling and grunting sound that sounds like it’s coming from the driveway. We immediately think BEAR! Jeff yells ‘everyone to the cottage’, and we start running for our lives.
We make it back to the cottage, slam and lock the doors. Then there is banging on the cottage door and then we hear it. Eric’s unmistakable laugh! I remember asking him why he did it. His response? ‘I tripped, so I just went with it’, with the biggest smile on his face.
I will miss you immensely Uncle Eric! Rest in Peace. I Love You.
