  5. So sorry to lose my brother in law Eric. He was one of a kind. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for you. I loved singing and he’d play his guitar. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. The last time I saw him he made me Bulgogi (a Korean dish) and even though he couldn’t eat it he was so happy that I had asked him to make it. He had a big old grin on his face that had done that for me. His battles are over in this life he’ll not remember the pain the sorrow the heartaches here on earth. If there was ever a man who was ready to go it was Eric. Carry on brother! I love you and will miss your smiling face! From Sugar Booger…He always called me that. I miss him already.
