Eric will be truly missed. He was a great engineer and helped me on my home remodel in 2011. My new footing will forever be known as Eric's Footing. He was also eager to volunteer his time working for the betterment of the engineering profession. Eric will always be fondly remembered.

I was shocked to read of Eric's passing. Eric and I attended many national meetings together of the Structural Engineering Societies. Several of those were in his role as our state delegate to the NCSEA and at that time I was the President of the Structural Engineering Institute. Throughout the years of his profesional career Eric and I had the opportunity to attend many professional meetings together and had the pleasure of exchanging ideas and discussions of the professional issues at the time. I had the privilege of knowing Eric throughout his professional career. He will be missed. Condolences to his family and friends - he will be missed.
