And this morning I woke up to this terrible news. A particularly beloved man, a great soul. Him, let's say that does not quite match his true personality. A man hidden to the tools, smart and creative. A family man. What can you say. I can not believe I eulogize him. Just do not believe. I love him so much. Two good friends of Eric went "In a few days. I have no words, except for my great love for him, and if that's one of the criteria for friendship then I always knew he would be there for me."
