Unhappy Terrible News!

Thoughts and prayers got out to Eric and his family.

Sunday (3-20-15) marks a year since I had my stroke. A very small one, but it shocked me to the ground. I seem to be fully recovered for now.

The type of stroke Eric seems to have had is going to be very tough. I pray for him that he can bounce back over time.

Regards, Chris.

Just reading this as I'm getting ready to go to a memorial service for Denny Sanford, former President of the SEGTOA who succumbed to the complications of a stroke last week.

Prayers going up for you Eric.

Great artist and illustrator! I'm lucky to have his book and a nice illustration. Glad to have met him too, and will be missed for sure...

Very sorry to hear this. Harder to take when its so sudden.
Goes without saying, Eric made great contributions to our hobby. I have Eric's book and several framed pieces of his artwork, the latter of which hang prominently in my house. All gifts from my wife.

Godspeed Eric. Maybe we'll meet again on the other side.

Thoughts and prayers to Eric and his family.

Last spent time with Eric at the 2014 Sloan Museum Show in Flint, never dreamed it would be the last time. Our prayers and condolences to his family.
