On May 25th our family lost a husband, father, son, brother, friend and role-model way too soon.
Eric and Paula were soul mates. Anyone who met the two could see the love between them through thier banter, jokes and pride in one another. Eric joined Paula’s family of three in 2003 and immediately stepped in to help raise her two daughters. Eric and his 12-year-old son were two peas in a pod, a very silly pod.
Eric was a patient and giving father, constantly teaching his kids about everything including, science, geography, history and his passion for art and design. He was a generous and caring person, giving of his time, talents and heart.
As a family they moved to Oregon where Eric lectured at a local college, continued his own business, Edge Designs, coached little league baseball and assisted with he local 4H Club where his son competed in archery.
There is no good time to lose a loved one, but this particular month is made even more difficult by the impending move his family is required to make on June 1st. Please consider helping Eric’s family by donating towards his memorial service and severe medical expenses. Any extra funds will assist his wife and son with living expenses.
This page is being created by Paula’s family but all funds will go directly to her account.
