Eric was born in Northport, Long Island, New York on March 14, 1984. He was a good baby and wonderful toddler. He was such a nice boy and a very giving person. Eric was especially good with his younger brother, who is autistic. He enjoyed sailing and music. He was a sophomore at Northport high school. Life was not always easy for Eric. He died on October 24, 1999 at 15 years of age.
Eric’s graduating class of 2005 erected a bench in his honor and planted a tree in his memory. Each year on the anniversary of his death, ribbons and flowers are placed by those who he touched. He is missed more than he could ever realize by family and friends.
By being a tissue donor, Eric was once again able to help others. In heaven, I’m sure he is helping out.
Until we meet again my son.
Love,
Mom
