His Journey's Just Begun Don't think of him as gone away-his journey's just begun life holds so many facets this earth is only one. Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.

Dating and being friends with Eric was one of the greatest joys of my life. His love for comedy,dogs,music, gaming, taking things apart to fix them, and psychoanalyzing music and movies will stay in my heart forever. My condolences and support go out to his mom and family. Buddy was basically his son and his world. Old Greg although new to the family was also well loved.
