    Dear Cindy and family. I was saddened to hear your loss of such a wonderful husband, father, grandpa. Eric worked for me at the county for quite a few years. I can honestly say he brightened my day with a nice talk each morning. He loved his family very much! I wished I knew more people like him. May Jesus give him the peace he worked for.
