I knew Eric, mostly as a beautiful baby boy. Tami and my life has intertwined since freshman year. We ended up having babies in alternate years: 1986,1987, 1988, & 1989. Tami watched my newborn, Brittany, during my Mother´s funeral. While I lived back in Upper Sandusky, we had the joy of sharing our babies with each other. Eric was always a sweet, loving little guy with warm eyes. He adored Halley, and looked to her often while together. I love seeing others share that he continued to be a loving, kind soul in his adulthood. It´s the tender-hearted who seem to have a more difficult time navigating this Earth. I believe this about Eric.
