I had the pleasure of working with Eric for 25 years on numerous construction projects. My field of work is lessened by his loss. He was truly one of the greatest and most "common sense" logical engineers I have ever delt with, and a great person with a awesome personality. His mark is on much of the work I have done. I will miss him.

Hadn't seen Eric in years. We we're in the Seabees together. Always enjoyed working and visiting with him both in the Navy and his private practice in WDM.
He was always so busy in his business he rarely had time to visit. He was alway there to help and support us when needed though. Please wish his family well in this difficult time.
Thank you,
Rick

Quite shocked to hear the passing of Eric. He was a good man and really took care of needs from borrowers and their loans with me.
He was pleasant, expedient and will truly be missed. May he rest in eternal peace.
