Eric was a lifelong resident of Bloomingdale, where he grew up excelling in Boy Scouts, school, and several sports. As he grew older, he took a particular liking to hockey and later golf. Anyone that knew Eric knew of his zest for life, his selflessness, and his love for family and friends including his dog Harley. Eric was a movie-goer, loved live music, and was also a “foodie”. With his infectious smile, charisma, and great sense of humor, he could bring light to any situation. Eric longed for adventure and was planning a canoe trip similar to the one he once had with his brothers and his dad. Eric was loved deeply by everyone, and it goes without saying that he will be missed tremendously.
