My deepest sympathy to Penny and the kids. I knew Eric at WHGA. Eric was a wonderful friend and co-worker. He brightened everyday and always made me smile. He was so quick wittted! He wasn’t just funny, he was tender and kind. I loved the deep bass of his voice. We talked about Eric’s next career in broadcasting! We talked about how much he reminded me of my brother Eric, who I lost in ’95. (We think they knew each other!!) He sent emails all the time, the halarious and the magnificent. I always looked forward to minutes I was lucky enough to spend with him. Eric , I will see you in heaven. Maybe then you can get me to take a spin on the bike. Love you, Pam
My prayers are with you and your family. WHGA, Inc., Loudoun Office

As a friend of Donna’s I had been following Eric’s battle with cancer, keeping him and you his family in my thoughts, I was so sorry to hear that Eric had passed away, please try to take comfort from the fact that he is no longer in pain and nothing can hurt him again. Please accept my condolences at this sad time. julia (Kent – UK)
Dear Penny, My deepest sympathy for your loss, you and your famiy are in my prayers at this very sad time. a friend of Donna C’s
Dear Penny and Family, In this time of sorrow, may you be uplifted knowing that Eric is no longer in pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep in touch. Kindest Regards, Fred and Cathy
Eric and I “joined” the family at nearly the same time. I enjoyed knowing him: a stalwart, seemingly gruff, “country boy”. Yet, clearly his native intelligence showed through, and his views or opinions were not deeply hidden. You knew where Eric stood on most any question. And he would defend his position. Certainly he will be missed, but all who took the trouble to know him, gained from the experience. Rest easy, and enjoy! Happy to have been your “StepFather-in-law”. Byron
Dear Penny and family of Eric, I share in your sorrow at this time of your bereavement. You are much in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Donna’s and Paul’s friend. Isaiah 43 Fear not :for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

I’m a friend of Donna C from the Macmillan Share site, and would just like to add my condolences.
Dear family – I am deeply sorry for your loss, I remember Eric when Jim and I were married ( this is Kacey Lairds mom). Penny, Eric is in a better place and is still with you always. For Becky and Stephen I am not sure if you remember me but I too lost my dad to cancer almost 3 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I dont think of him so keep the great memories close to your heart and know he looking down on you.
