Sending our condolences to Bonnie, Darin and families and Olive. We’re very saddened at the loss of your dear Dad (Eric). Hoping you’ll find comfort in all your loving memories. Eric was a longtime friend since 1966 when we both started working at Pratts. Our friendship lasted even though we moved to Ontario 35 years ago. We visited on our trips home (most of the time surprising him) catching up and having laughs over days gone by. He was a sweet, kind, gentleman who’ll be forever in our hearts.
“Rest Easy and in Peace Dear Friend”
