Alan Collie wrote a sympathy message

“I knew Eric for more than fifty years. He was one of those rare friends who would just stop by my work or call/text for no specific reason—just to say hi—and see how things were going. I’m grateful for these many years of friendship, and Eric is already missed! My prayers go out for his wife and daughter; he never stopped talking about you! May God give you strength to find peace in Him and joy in the memories.”
