Wow. I just found a business card from Four Winds and decided to look you up.
Eric and I were good buddies during our reenacting days with the 7th SC.
All I can say is wow. Rest in peace my old friend.

Eric, What can I say. You always told me, I was your only true friend. I remember so many good times we had , digging Civil War relics. Between you and me ,Eric, you were better. I pray for Jane and the kids. I wish people knew you the way I did. The smile on your face when you dug up a really cool relic. Il miss you Eric. From now on, whenever I find a relic, Il think of you. We had some great digs. Your Pal, Brent

To the Easons:
I did not know Eric, but I enjoyed reading about him. I never surfed. Maybe I needed the kind of teacher and good companion like the Eric people talk about.
Our (mine and my wife's) deepest to all of you during this difficult time of loss.

I was 10 in 1972 when I met Eric at the surf shop, I learned to surf with all the other local kids there that eric had befriended.
I remember he would just wait patiently at the surf shop until all of us locals had shown up and then it was a migration to the Pier..
He taught us a lot about Surfing, but above all he taught us to dream.
Thank you so much Eric for your patience, time, understanding and a lot of Board repairs,lol.

And Eric, I made it to the North Shore, Velzyland. Thank you for beleiving in us.

I painted the mural on the wall inside the surf shop back in 1969. I used to hang out there all the time (probably too much). I went on my first surfing trip to North Carolina with Eric and a couple of friends. I hadn't seen him in about thirty years but I'll never forget him.

I DID NOT KNOW ERIC PERSONALLY, BUT THIS SADDENS ME. I REMEMBER WHEN THE VILLAGE SURF SHOP OPENED, AND I STILL HAVE ONE OF THE T-SHIRTS FROM THE FIRST YEAR IT OPENED. EVERYONE USED TO HANG THERE DURING THE HOT PART OF THE DAY. AS A VISITOR TO GARDEN CITY BEACH EVERY YEAR SINCE 1965, HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL WHO REMEMBER THE DAYS. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU, AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
