On behalf of Eric's family we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the condolences and prayers.  We would also like to thank Vincent and Mike for making this process as easy and painless as possible and it was truly a blessing to have the Vincent A. Enea Funeral Service handle the arrangements for us.  Eric was more than a child, brother, grandchild, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend to all of us.  He was a blessing and a beautiful soul that we will NEVER forget.  We LOVE YOU more than words can express Moe!

To Eric''s Family,
We did not know you all, but we knew Eric well. He spent many of his lunch breaks at our house. Every knock at our door would send our 4 year old running saying "Is it Eric? Is it Eric?" because he couldn''t wait to see him. My husband will miss trouble shooting computer questions in the middle of the night because Eric is the only one who would and the only one who could help him figure out the answers. And I will miss his smile and just shooting the breeze with him. I can''t believe you''re gone Eric. My whole family will feel your loss, even our dogs because they loved you too. Eric was loved by our entire family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time.
With much Love

I was incredibly saddened to hear of Eric's passing. He was such a nice person... always friendly and smiling.  I'm sure he had no idea how much people liked him and admired him for his gentle and warm personality.
He was somewhat shy but always willing to help anyone. He was the type of person that you instantly felt comfortable with and he will be sorely missed by everyone at St. Mary's.  I know there are no words of comfort that will take away your pain right now but please know, Eric was a wonderful person and you should be proud of the man he was.
