I was shocked and saddened to read of Eric's passing. I knew Eric when his mother, Barb, was my neighbor for about 17+ years. He was always pleasant, funny, smiling and a great guy. His mother was the best neighbor ever, and I got to meet most of the family over the years. My condolences go to his wife and family, his siblings and their families. Eric will surely be missed. R.I.P. Eric. Sincerely, Lynn

Dear Heather and Family,
So sorry to hear of Eric's passing. My memories of Eric growing up with my younger brother, Harrison, and in later years of taking good care of our Mom's TV troubles, etc. are certainly very special. Eric brought a lot of joy to many, young and old, with his teaching, stained glass and special "magic tricks". A good man, who walked a good life and will be sadly missed by many. Please accept Lewis's and my sincere condolences on your great loss.

When we heard of Eric's passing, Blair and I and the kids began reminiscing, and the shared memories were of two in particular. On one of the few occasions that Adam spent his birthday on the island, he came down with flu-like symptoms. Missing a fun day going to the beach, there was a bbq at Grandma & Howard's house in Cornwall with Heather and Eric invited to join in the celebration. Learning that Adam wasn't feeling well, Eric immediately went downstairs and commenced to cheer up the birthday boy by performing a magic show just for him and his two siblings. Between card tricks, colourful scarves and a 'magic' hat, Eric made Adam feel extra special, putting a smile on his face again. And 'big sister' Amanda was excited that Eric had let her in on the secret of the 'magic rope'. During a week long visit to the island, both Adam & Aaron spent time in Eric's stain-glassed workshop, where they crafted their own sail boats. Both boys still have these stained glass treasures! We remember our times with Eric fondly - the stories, jokes, laughter, and of course the magic tricks. And we send our hugs and love to you Heather, Mark, Leanne, and Jeff.

I was very saddened to hear of Eric's passing. My deepest sympathies to the family! I met Eric 23 years ago when I started working in the PEI Council Scout Office. Eric was such a kind and gentle man. Always willing to lend a hand with anything and most times you never needed to ask him!! I have fond memories of Scouting times at Camp Riverdale, Camp Buchan, Kub & Truck Rallies and other Scouting events were he was there in true form. His many years as a Scout leader, the wood working skills he taught our youth and his entertaining magic shows at our Challenge Trails were only a few of the legacys he has left Scouting with. Rest in Peace Eric knowing that you were a true gentleman and a wonderful Scouter who lived our Law, Promise and Scouting values! You will be missed.
Yours in Scouting,
Darlene Maund

Dear Heather and family,
Having attended school at some time with you and Eric, it is fitting that I send this note of sympathy to you and all connected to Eric. Although I have not seen him since grade eleven at St. Dunstan's High, his photo with the obituary is quite recognizable.
I never knew where you and Eric met, but I am glad you did, and shared your lives. I have favorable memories of both of you.
May God's grace and love support you and the family through this time.
Yours respectfully,
Reed

I first met Eric through scouting activities while I working with summerside district. He has gone home, he certainly showed all the qualities of the scout principals, being willing to help at many events and who can forget his magic shows at camp Riverdale and Buchan. many scouts will not forget. . Hundreds of children will remember him from his Cavandish magic shows, Rest in peace Eric as you have done your duty to your family and scouting. Ted Cross

I am just so sorry I never got to see Eric in these adult years. We did connect on Facebook where I learned that he was a master stained glass artist and loved to do magic for children’s’ parties. Rest In Peace Eric. You were one of the good guys. Nan DeCoste Clarke

Have many fond memories as a neighbor in Bethel when Eric and Heather played cards with Mom & Dad. Seems not long ago that I babysat Mark and Leanne... not sure if Jeff was around yet. Shawn and I remember taking our TV to be repaired and buying our first VCR at the electronic's shop on University Ave. Eric was already practicing his tricks back then with his cards and coins.
