I am so sorry to hear of this ... I have known Eric since I was about 15 and I'm 21 now ... I just had a baby and told Eric he would be her internet uncle ... I also thought of him as an uncle ... he was such a great guy and to his other friends and family I'm so sorry. - Posted by: Shannon (Friend) on: Nov 22, 2005

I had talked to Eric for 8 years online on a site for depressed people. Throughout all those years growing up he was one of the few dependable people on there. He always had the best reply to any problem and in every reply you could easily see the time and concern engraved into the words. In a world full of people your never sure about alot of us found admiration for Eric because throughout the years he was true to us. We who were complete strangers but still valued by him as human beings with feelings. - Posted by: Nicholas Amenta (Friend) on: Nov 19, 2005
