Edward Aylsworth wrote a sympathy message

“Dammit... Eric was a sweet soul. I was besties with his late big brother, Fred, back in our high school days. And their house was THEE PLACE to be in Lawrence. Always something fun -- and probably questionable, lolz -- going on. "The House of Ill Repute/Teenage Wasteland," as I recall! Eric was a soft, gentle kid -- jeez, they made a fantastic combo. I can just picture Eric looking at me so many times with those blazing brown eyes, wondering what the hell, dude? RIP with Fred, my brother...”
