was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, the company of his
friends, playing poker, playing pool and watching his favorite football

anything. To his parents he was a devoted son who was very loyal. To his
siblings who he adored, he found much comfort in their company acting
jovial. To his friends he became an ally for trust in their
relationships. Eric was able to easily establish a good network of
communication and work ethic among his coworkers, and was admired by his
superiors. He was to his children a hero in their eyes. He enjoyed
wrestling, camping, boating, bowling, finishing puzzles, riding the ATV
to camp, and sitting by a fire to cook s'mores. Eric gave the best
hugs. To his wife he was the heart and soul of her life. He was truly
her best friend. They enjoyed spending time listening to music, riding
around the lake, and visiting and entertaining friends with jokes and
laughter.

always thought that family came first and will forever remain true to
that belief.
