Our deepest condolences to Judy, Darcy and Jeff. Although the loss to his union membership and the Oxford Park community is considerable, there is no way to measure the impact to your family. All those years we were neighbours I remember Eric talking about family and how important you were to him, how proud he was of his children. Although he has left you in body, his spirit lives on through you. Our thoughts are with you.

Judy,Jeff and Darcy, Sorry for your loss.I worked closely with Eric for many years.We became good friends.He will be missed by all. Wayne and Judy Pare'.

Our family met Eric back when my brothers Terry, Blair and myself (Susan) went to South. He was always welcome in our home. He was a very supporting gentle soul. We are so sorry to hear of his passing at such an early age. I hope you will take comfort in all that he has accomplished in this short time. We are so glad we had a chance to be apart of his early life. We were blessed! Jim, Mickie (Dad & Mom), Terry, Blair, Susan and Janice.

Judy, with sincere sympathies to you, Jeff and Darcy on your loss. Eric was a wonderful person and he will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies to Judy, Jeff , Darcy and all of Eric's family. Both Ken and I will never forget Eric's support during the mid 1990's when he helped us form the Oxford Park Resident's Association and get it up and running. My husband and I also remember the great effort Eric put in to ensure that the Cavendish Trail system would become part of the natural trail system in the area, and the time he somehow found in his busy schedule to keep it looking nice for others to enjoy. He was a great humanitarian who always put others before himself. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, even though he has left his family and his friends much too early. May you rest in Peace always, Eric.

My deepest sympathies to Judy, Jeff, Darcy and all of Eric's family. I had the great honour of knowing Eric for over 20 years, we worked together as union activists on our Local’s common goals. He was also a friend. Eric was a man with profound integrity and kindness. He will be greatly missed.

We are going to miss Eric a lot. I knew him as a trade unionist and a friend. He was intelligent, caring, effective, funny and always committed to doing what was best for his co-workers. My sincerest regrets to Judy, Jeff and Darcy for their loss.

Our sincerest condolences for your loss, Judy, Jeff and Darcy. We know that Eric's love of his family was the most important part of his life, and he will be sorely missed.

Judy, Jeff and Darcy Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies

I first met Eric in 1971, around the time his Mother tragically passed away at a relatively young age. We remained close friends after we attended South Secondary School together. For the past 20 years or so, I regularly dropped over to Eric and Judy's home during the Spring, Summer and Fall months to shoot the breeze and have a few cups of tea on the side deck. Eric and I also attended several London Majors' games at historic Labatt Park each season. During the past two decades, Eric has mentored and helped many people in London and has also been a popular union leader at the City of London. Eric will be fondly remembered but deeply missed by all who knew him. Condolences to Eric's immediate and extended family.
