Altho I don't surf everyday - infact weeks go by... for years, Eric was a constant. Even when no one else would be out......there he would be way out on the reef - a place he knows like the back of his hand. Every single time I made the long paddle out - Eric would be the first to greet me with that huge smile of his. If I had a question - he would gladly give me an answer. When there was time to talk on the beach, he was easy to hang with.
In all these years, I never had them over to my house. I went to several Halloween parties at his first house, made a trip with just him and Jeanna to take Christmas gifts to the orphanage in San Jose at least 4 years ago - an unforgettable experience. I have sat in the ocean with Eric more hours than I can re-call. We never had a long in-depth conversation but as I am now writing this I realize what a great friend he was.....and I will miss him!!
Eric & Jeanna - I hope you know I wish you all the best. May this new chapter in your life bring you joy and happiness and adventures never dreamed of. I know I will see you again as EO is burned in your soul - like so many of us. Till we meet again.........
Pura Vida
