Eric was a sports enthusiast and loved to coach football. His dedication was unmatched. He was hardworking and he was the biggest fan of his two boys. He had a fun loving and vivacious personality. His laugh and smile could fill a room. If he wasn’t coaching or watching sports, he would find a good book to read. He had this ability to make anyone he talked to feel important and heard.
