Dear Oscar and Lisa, I would like to express my condolences to the both of you for the recent passing of Eric. Eric became a very important member of my own family once we reconnected in our late 20's. I have nothing but positive memories with Eric as a member of my wedding party, my closest friend to play golf with and a frequent guest to our Sunday family dinners. He was also there to see my 2 children, Amber and Andrew, be born. They absolutely loved every time Eric came over to our house since he was such a happy guy during those times. Who didn't enjoy his laugh and smile? FYI. I am in the greater Chicago area and will be attending Eric's services. I hope this sits well with both of you. Under the circumstances of his passing, I am hear to pay my final respects to Eric as I thought of him as a brother and to support the two of you during this difficult time. Once I relocated from S. Florida to San Jose, CA for work about 2.5 years ago, Eric and I did lose contact unfortunately for no good reason except the distance between us. Unfortunately I was not aware of his recent struggles with seizures as well of the passing of Jennie earlier this year. Again, my condolences for Jennie's passing. I did love Eric like a brother and have been deeply saddened once I heard of his passing. If there is anything I can do for either of you during this time, please let me know. My Deepest Condolences, Chris Buonomo
