Dear Sharon and family.. I was so shocked with disbelief when I got online to read the paper and discovered that Eric had passed away. I am so truly sorry for your loss.
I had the pleasure of enjoying Eric’s fine cooking over this past summer. I had no idea he was sick. I’ll always remember him as a fine chef that he was . He worked years ago at Penn Glade rest with my Mother also.
Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am.
Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers now and in the coming months.
With deepest sympathy, Wanda marcy Miller
I got to know Eric a few years ago. We both worked at Kinzua Valley nursing home in the dietary department. I did not see Eric again until last last summer. We talked about working together at Kinzua Valley and got caught up with what he and I were doing currently. I glad that I had the chance to speak with him. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
