When you’re new here, there are a few folks that after a short while, make you feel like you know them and that you’re friends. I felt that way about Eric.

It got even cooler for me after I found out his cousin is The Hooters drummer, David Uosikkinen ( ... an extremely nice guy that I use to run unto in the late 80’s).

Turn it up Eric!

RIP my friend.

Terrible news. I also had the privilege to meet him once at a Toronto get-together. Very charming and personable guy, with plenty of stories. I've always kept the TDPRI pick he gave me in my tele guard, but it will carry more significance now.

Geoff, I hope I can be there for the next get-together. We'll have to toast him.

RIP.

I wonder if eating a Twinkie was on Eric's bucket list of things to do? I don't mean that as a joke. I'm serious. That was my wife's comment when I told her about Eric's post.

Eric, you'll be missed.

All my sincere condolences to Eric's family and friends. All I remember of his posts here are very fun things, and a light heart. Way too young, and just a few years older than I.

RIP

Wow so sad.

He would email me or send a PM all the time wondering how my eyesight was doing.

A really caring person.
