I only met Eric a few times. He impressed me as a very kind and gentle man. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
I just returned from my cruise to here the news. My heart is aching for the family and friends of Eric. Until we meet again cousin. 💚
I am sorry I could not attend today. My sincerest prayers for Eric's family and friends. The opportunities to talk with Eric let me know how much he loved and cared for each of you.
Mata! Was what I use to call for you to get to the window to get your food. Maaaaaaataaaaa! Too soon buddy to soon ! . As driving in the procession today i remembered when We had some staff for a 2 night weekend in Naples. I was always able to share my love for fishing, the water, and the beach with you. We rode around for hours as you kept saying it's hot it's just to hot, well 4 hours later fish less and sunburned we created a memory that will be in my heart forever.
Our poor Lizzie loves you Alyssa adores u , and I my friend you touched me as u did so many people ! So from here salute my friend. Say hi to Johnny ! I am sure your having a smoke togther

Though me and Michael Mata couldn't always be around, because life is a busy thing, the times when we got to see Eric were filled with laughs and smiles a plenty. It is such a sad thing to have someone as wonderful and heart warming as Eric pass away as young as he was. I hope every memory of Eric is a fond one and may the tears shed be only tears of happiness not regret nor remorse.
