In the words of his cousin, Daphne Ann Clinesmith Bruns, Eric was a kind and loving son, father, brother, husband, cousin, uncle, and friend. His impact extended far beyond professional accomplishments; it was in the warmth of his relationships and the kindness he shared with everyone he encountered.
