Ron, I am deeply sorry to hear of Eric's passing. I met Eric at Jets over Kentucky two years ago and we spent hours talking about the hobby and mutual friends.
He had planned to attend again this year but I knew his health would be the controlling factor. Eric loved Phantoms and I remember seeing his Sundowner color scheme at Toledo years ago. We talked about his Performance Phantom that he had published in Flying Models years ago. His precision flying style was a pleasure to watch.

My thoughts go out to his wife, daughter and family.
