When I started at The Hotel, I immediately felt that Eric was a very special Person with a big heart.
We often discussed projects and he used to tell me “it’s a big job” but at the end it was always completed with perfection.
Over the years we became good friends and I was very happy to see him again last year.
He had a good sense of humour and always such a kind smile on his face. He will be missed by all.
With our sincere sympathy to his entire Family.
