My sincere condolences to all Eric’s family.
Although I hadn’t been in touch with Eric for many years, I always remember him fondly. I took my first lifeguard training from Eric – in Corner Brook, and later had an opportunity to observe his work in developing the 3F Program.
I hope it helps to know others are thinking of you now, and that your memories will bring you comfort. …Mike Bugden

It was so sad to hear of Eric’s passing. We were blessed to have spent a week with Eric and our family at his cottage in Newfoundland two years ago (seems like yesterday). He will forever live in our thoughts! — Doug & Lori Drodge
sincere sympathy to all the family. Eric was a gentle
gentleman and was blessed with many friends.
This dear sweet man has left a hole in our hearts and family. He gave so much and asked for nothing. Because of distance my husband Robert just got to reconnect with his uncle a few weeks ago and loved every moment of it. At the same time, our two grown sons, Chris and Mike, got to know their great uncle a little and they hung on his every word as they have grown up away from family for so long. Their own grandfather passed before they got to know him so they were looking at this humble, witty and kind patriach of the Larkin family in awe. We were all blessed to have that time with him and we will all cherish it for the rest of our lives.
