Dear Natalie,
As I stood and chatted with you last Sunday at Uncle Dave’s funeral I never imagined that you would suffer such a loss so soon. Eric was a good man and I remember him vividly throwing ball with Randy in the field when we were kids. He always had time to sit with his family and laugh. May God grant you peace as only He can do during this difficult time. I’m praying for you.
I was so sorry to hear of Eric’s death. I worked with him for many years and always thought a lot of him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mac and Eric worked together at Ecusta and Erice painted out house when we bought on Franklin StBrevard.He always had time to speak and talk to me when I worked at Ecusta Credit Union. We are very sorry for your loss as well as a loss to Mac and I. He gave Mac a hard time only because he and Mac liked each other and are friends. Mac and I stopped by about five months at your house for a visit on a Saturday afternoon and no one was at home. So sorry we missed seeing you;but you had no idea what out plans were to visit. This is Monday night around 9:00 pm and Wade McGuire has just called to tell Mac about the accident that caused Eric’s death. You are in our prayers.
Sincerely,
Mac and Linda Cantrell

My husband & I both worked with Eric as well as Randy at Ecusta. I also knew Eric through mutual friends and thought he was a wonderful, caring person. A good Christian man who loved and cared about others. I wanted to share with you as Erics family that he loved and cared about his family very deeply.
He always had a laugh and smile as he walked past our machines at work. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.
Our love and prayers go to each family member but especially his wife who I did not know and to Randy and his lovely family who I knew and thought a lot of. May God Bless and Comfort all of you.
