I have known Eric since middle school, my heart breaks. We would run in to each other over the years at UH and stayed in touch through Facebook. I just saw him in May and he was beaming about his new wife and vacation they were going on. I have him a hug that day, bit realizing it would be the last. Rest easy and fly high my friend!

We were so saddened to here of Eric’s passing. He was a very special man, a pleasure to work with; a diligent, dedicated servant leader to his customers at the Hospital. He helped me personally on many projects, and his skill and work ethic were unquestionable. He will be greatly missed.
May all his family be consoled and comforted in this most difficult time, and may Eric rest in peace.
Prayers of peace and strength to the family.

Jen and family,
My deepest sympathies on your loss. Times like these it’s difficult to find the right words. May God protect and give you all strength during this time.
My thoughts are with you,

I remember Eric provided my laptop in Conneaut 16 years ago this month. Years later, I joined IT, and there we were, working together onboarding new practices and special projects on the east side. I never knew that we are the same age, and graduated high school the same year. I enjoyed working with Eric because he was full of energy, helpful, positive, and welcoming, always with a big smile. I pray for Eric’s family and loved ones that peace and comfort will cover them remembering the beautiful memories of him.
Oh, Jim and Marcy! I just read the obituary of your son! I’m shocked and so sorry to hear of this. May God have His hand on you, helping you through this long phase of healing. May His Angels surround you and give you peace. You are in my prayers.
Eric was the most gracious, giving, compassionate, loving man. He was so full of positive energy. Eric was always smiling, telling jokes, speaking so highly of his mom, Cassidy and E.J. He loved all of you so much. He went on to connect with the love of his life Jennifer who brought along Ian.
Eric was so in love and was so proud that his family was complete and it was everything he had ever wanted. Eric my friend I will miss our conversations so much.
Jennifer, Cassidy, E.J., Ian, Marcy and to all his family and friends may God hold each of you in your time of sorrow close, give you patience, understanding 1 day, peace and comfort as you all begin to process and heal.
Praying for each of you and thinking about you every day. RIP my dear friend Eric ❤️ 🙏
My deepest sympathy to Eric’s family. I worked with Eric for many years at UH – he was always a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and willingness to help others will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace.
Jen – I am so sorry and express my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I worked with Eric on many projects in UH and he was so wonderful, kind, supportive. He always did what he said he would do. So accountable and I knew he always had our backs. There wasn’t a problem he couldn’t solve. All my love is with you, and I am so very sorry.
