Eric went to the Lonning Center daily where he performed volunteer activities in the community which included delivering Meals on Wheels, helping at the Salvation Army, shopping for the Developmental Disabilities Resource Board and Community Living, and delivering mail to Community Living facilities.
Community Living and the Lonning Center have given Eric exceptional care and love throughout the years. He loved having his own home and independence.
Eric was a happy man who loved people and people loved him. His smile and laugh lit up the room. He remembered everyone’s name and often gave compliments, especially to the ladies in his life. He loved classic rock, SpongeBob SquarePants, bowling, chocolate, McDonald’s, fountain Diet Pepsi and Yoohoo Chocolate Drink. Eric loved sports, especially Cardinals Baseball and Ram’s Football. Wearing sports attire is welcome at the visitation and funeral.
Eric was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
