Miss you Great Grandpa.. I thought you were an amazing great grandpa and you were always there for me when I was little. I still remember the times when I was just a kid, and I had no one to play with and whenever you were with me, you would always play with me and make me laugh and smile. Almost every single night I think of you, and I look at all the pictures I have of me and you and Great Grandma. I love you Great Grandpa and I will never forget you. - Posted by: mersaydes schick (great granddaughter ) on: Nov 08, 2018

To Barb and family my sincere condolences. I started off as Eric's tax preparer twenty years ago but it didn't take long before Eric & Barb were good friends. Eric always liked to come to the farm - I guess the farm boy was still in him. Our conversations were always lively and we solved all the world problems in less than 2 hours. I think Eric had a permanent smile on his face because he was always smiling no matter what. I will miss him as he was truly a special friend. - Posted by: Donna Hourd (friend) on: May 29, 2016
