Eric was a loving family man. He enjoyed spending time with his family and living life to the fullest. It was steak dinners on the grill every Saturday night and vacation time at the beach every year.  Eric also enjoyed watching the GSN channel on TV, old country and gospel music shows, fishing, playing solitaire and completing Sudoku puzzles. His yard was his pride and joy. He loved to garden. Eric’s favorite song to sing was “Do Lord, Remember Me”.  Eric was the recipient of two Bronze Stars, the United Nation Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. His love for the Lord, his country and his family leave an eternal legacy in the hearts of his loved ones.
