Very sad that I only found out yesterday that my good (Dutch) friend Eric passed away over a year ago. We knew each other for over 40 years and have fond memories of him. Rest in peace Eric, you will be missed. My condolences go out (still) to everyone who loved him.

My condolences to everyone that loved Eric. I had the pleasure seeing Eric at least once or twice a year for many many years at our partner meetings. He was always fun to chat with and was full of knowledge about our industry. I will miss seeing his friendly face!
