Sincerest condolences to Uncle Eric’s family and friends. My thoughts are with you all at this time.
Our deepest condolences to Marion and to all the family. Eric was a very special man, a wonderful neighbour and friend to us for almost 15 years. We had many great chats about his wonderful garden, both his and Marion’s life together, as well as numerous chats of day to day happenings. Our pattern of passing little treats back and forth over the fence, via whatever implement Eric could find always brings a smile to us. We cherished their friendship and missed them when they moved from the street. He represented very dearly a true sense of what a community should be all about. We consider them both family and he will be sorely missed.
Lots of love,
Maxine, Mike and Tristan
To Uncle Eric’s and Aunt Marion’s Family, please accept our condolences on the passing of a very lovely man (Uncle) who at one time we visited often. WE enjoyed our tea with them. They were so very pleasant, he enjoyed showing us his newest crafts. May he rest in peace.
