Thank you so very much.

I was very saddened to read about Eric's passing at such a young age. I worked with him at UCCS and always enjoyed his sense of humor and easy-going personality. After reading all the guestbook entries it is obvious that he was a very special person who touched a lot of lives.

Eric,

I knew you as a very giving man, you brought happiness to many. I pray for Heather and Danielle that in thier grief they can hold onto the good times they had with you.

I love you daddy. It was fun feeding the squirels with you in the park. That was one of my favorite things to do with you.

Eric, I enjoyed your easy going attitude and talking to you about your mean machine you were working on. You were so very proud of your family and shared photos and experiences with me all of the time. I will miss that and you will be missed as a team member that we could definitely count on. God bless.

I was looking at the paper Sunday paper (late as usual) and saw Eric's happy face. He graduated a year ahead of me at Widefield. I lost track of him, until one day I was plugging in my computer at CSU and he showed up in my desk. I was only an intern at utilities back in '97 but Eric would stop by now and again and make sure all was well with me. I am so sad to hear that he is gone and reading through the posts, it sounds like he had a touched a great deal of folks. As a wife and a mother of a daughter myself, I hope and pray that his family will be find comfort in knowing what a good guy Eric was.

It was a pleasure to have known and worked with Eric at Colorado Springs Utilities. The thing I remember most about Eric was his big smile; that beamed out even from under his bushy moustache. I'm glad I had a chance to be with Eric outside of work. We had a good time playing paintball together. Eric, we will miss you. - Jeff

You were loved by so many and welcomed by all, may your family heal and grow through this transition. May you rest and heal where you have gone for peace. You will be sadly missed and we will look upon all of the wonderful things that you have done, accomplished, and loved.

I wanted to give my condolences to Eric's family as well. I graduated from Widefield, class of 1983. I don't remember Eric, but from reading the other postings, I wish I had known him better. My mom told me of his passing. My heart goes out to all who loved him and miss him.

Eric, It was a privilege to know and work with you. You were a wonderful man with a loving heart. I loved your sense of humor. I loved hearing you talk about Heather; I know you loved her beyond measure. You deserved so much more in life. May God heal your broken heart as only he can. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Eric since my beginning at CSU in 1997. I am very saddened by his passing, and I hope he's found peace. I hope he and his family know he is missed and beloved by so many.

I worked with Eric for two years at Utilities. He possessed a sharp mind only surpassed by his generous demeanor. He gave of his time selflessly to help me towards my goals and I learned a great deal from him. I wish I had told him what a sweet man I thought he was and how much I appreciated him. This is a regrettable loss for all of us who were blessed to know him. My prayers and condolences go out to Eric's family, whom he always spoke of with great warmth, pride and affection.

I Will miss Eric, we never did take that quad riding trip we had always planned with our families.But I will always remember the times we did spend together talking about that quad trip. I am so Sorry Danielle and baby Heather, I met you and your new baby Heather when she was just a few months and I could see the "NEW MOM & DAD GLOW", a picture no one can ever paint but loving parents. Danielle, May God comfort you and give you the life, health,and wisdom to raise your beloved little sweetheart Heather, that you and my buddie Eric love and cherish. Praying for you!

Thank you.

Eric, I am so sorry for your passing. You had many fine qualities as a young man. I am sorry that you have left this world for another and know you will be missed. Peace be with you.

Although Eric and I were acquaintances throughout our life, we seemed to cross paths often. We graduated from high school together, we worked briefly at Digital at the same time, and I would just see him periodically around town. The last time I saw him was at Best Buy with his wife and daughter. I had just had my twins and I was so happy for him and his family because he looked so happy. I considered coming to the memorial, but since I was not close to him I decided I should leave that to his close family and friends. I will mourn his passing though and send my condolences to those close to him. He was a nice man and I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Eric,

When I think of you, I see you as; a happy man, a dedicated worker, a loving husband, father and son, a person that loved to play pranks, and who loved an old chevy. I believe you will always be these things to those that knew you and shared their life with you. I pray that you rest in peace.

Eric was a great man, I got to know him from my husband, Eric's best friend, Ray. I had never knew anybody that had as truely a wonderful marriage as Eric and Danielle. I am truly sorry that Eric had to go through the pain and suffering that he did. I helped in standing by his side and help him to try to get his mind off of his problems. Eric I promise that I will stand by my marriage through thick and thin and never give up. May God be with you. Rhonda

I knew Eric when his mother worked at PPCC. I grew to love his mother, and he was one of the sweetest men I have ever known. Danielle, you were so lucky to have such a gentleman as him for your husband, and I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of your precious daughter. Annamarie, You raised a wonderful young man who cared deeply about you. I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with all of you during this time.

To My Daddy,

I will miss you forever. Thank you for hanging the moon for me.

Your baby girl,

Heather Lyn

To all of Eric's family: I am so truely sorry about Eric. I worked with him last year on a project and thought he was really a great young man. I know Daniell, you and your daughter will miss him so very much. Also, his/and your parents and all of the love ones. We will also miss him at Colorado Springs Utilities. My heart and my prayers go out to all of you. May Jesus Christ give you peace. Reach out to Christ for your faith to get throught this. In Jesus name, Jorie Hoden, Sourcing & Contracts, CSU.

I am so sorry for your loss, as a mother who recently as June lost my oldest son I feel your pain. I worked with Eric at Utilities and he was always wonderful and thorough in his work. Again my condolences in your loss.

Dear Eric,

I'm saddened that you left us so suddenly. I've enjoyed knowing you and working with you over the years. May you find peace and happiness with God.

To my husband Eric,

I loved you with all of my heart and soul. Losing the man I love, my soul mate, my best friend, has created a hurt that will never fully heal.

Everything good about you lives on in our baby, Heather Lyn.

Peace, Sweetheart.
