I was fortunate to have had Eric as a student at Spoon River College. I will always remember his big voice, his bright mind, and his witty repartee. Also, Eric wrote one of the best essays I have ever received as a teacher. I want to pass along my condolences to his family. Eric was a bright and lively human being.
