Hey Eric, I had the privilege of meeting your parents today. They’re doing well and it’s obvious they’re proud supporters of law enforcement. RIP, sir.

Eric, I will always remember how you and your dog would greet me and my father every morning that we would go hunting on you're parents farm. You were just a little guy at the time but you would be our guide to and from the woods, waiting to see what we had bagged, always smiling and full of enthusiasm which we both enjoyed very much! Seasons come and they go, but you are not forgotten!

Whitey, I can still hear you call out, hey yo knucklehead, messing around an having fun driving in the all metal beast caddy, stacked with the 501. Having fun and joking around with you way back in the day was a chapter straight out of a great movie, similar to stand by me. The times we had, the friends we made, those are moments life gives you to remember forever. You always had it figured out and it was always a pleasure to walk into the room with the smartest guy, no matter where it was or who was in it. I know God has blessed you and I am excited for the day we meet back up. Take care of the mouse up there and save a seat in the caddy for this guy.

8 years have passed and gone since you and jason's death have left a tragic mark in our hearts. Every day you go out for duty you risk the ultimate sacrafice of not returning home. To keep your city and communities safe is all your job was to do and in the process you became angels who protected our streets for as long as you could. I offer my deepest condolences to you, your family and friends 10-7 sir you will be deeply missed.

Eric,

Not a day goes by where I don't think about you, or Colleen and the kids. The impact you had on my life is monumental. It is because of you that I strive to be a better man day in and day out. I was given a gift, I still believe I am on this earth because you were watching over me, and I will never take it for granted. I am pushing myself through school and soon I'll be starting med school. I remember your dad telling me not to waste what I learned from you and to make an impact on others. When I'm finally practicing medicine, the impact that I have on people will be because of you. Thank you for watching over me that day Eric. My hope is that I'll one day impact others as you have me.

Still can't believe we can't just pick up the phone and call and talk to you. Sometimes it seems like its been forever then just minutes that you've been gone. The pain of you being gone is so intense, but the JOY of having been your parents and grandarents to your children is immeasurable. We love you and you'll always be in our hearts

Eric I am sitting here thinking about what you were doing 6 years ago tonight. You were out with Roberto celebrating his birthday. I know how bad you felt going out on one of our Friday fun nights. Six years ago tomorrow you were taken from us. Some days it feels like you have been gone for so much longer and other days it feels like we just lost you. Either way you left us far too earlier. I wasn't ready for you to go. Six years later I still am having a hard time letting you go and allowing myself to live again. Oh Eric I have so much guilt. Why didn't I ask you to stay home? Why couldn't our love keep you safe? Why? Why? Why? One day I hope to see you again. Until then Eric, you will never be forgotten. I love you babe and I always will.
