Where to start? So many memories.......dinners in Zagreb, sailing the Hobies at Montemar, visiting in Ill and NH! Shopping in Udine and Graz. Eric was a fine man, caring husband and friend and father. He will be greatly missed by one and all who loved and knew him.

Keep looking for grace to meet you, guide you, and carry you. And keep singing: what better tribute to a man who knew the truth of Luther's claim that whoever sings prays twice! --The Rev.
