To Ruth, and to those closest to my Uncle Eric, I pray you find comfort in the knowledge of a beautiful life well lived, by a man who loved well, and was loved much... by many. Even those distant family members like me, -who knew him least- knew that with Eric in the family, we were blessed. With love, Lauren, Mark and Sarah Binette
