I was so sorry to read of Eric's passing .It was always a pleasure to meet him at Rowena Jackson.

Dear Shirley and family, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Eric’s passing. The Eric I knew was a quiet, gentle soul with a very dry sense of humour. A true gentleman. May God grant you peace and comfort knowing Eric has gone ahead to the Father, and will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. I’m sure his greeting will include a big hug and a loving smile.
With love and deep sympathy
