Those unexpected moments come about and at us so fast until it does take us a while to grasp any logic or meaning out of what has occurred... As I have sat and pondered about this particular moment it has filled my heart with such a deep sadness because of the suddenness and irreversible unexpectedness of that moment...

Our conversations were never long and drawn out because our questions were asked and our response was poignantly clear and always straight to the point... If you needed to know I would tell you, and, if I needed to know you were always reciprocal in your response...

Sometimes we as Men can be too proud and think that what is a concern should not be mentioned or brought to those that respect us  unequivocally... I have no way of knowing now, but I do strongly wish that you would have brought your conversation and concerns my way one more time....

I will truly miss you My little Brother,because that is what you were to me in my eyes... Robbie, Duane, and Dale as well as the rest of your family hopefully do know that they can always count on me, that has always been and always will be...

"In Hindsight and Respect"

As I looked out of my window just the other day,
I saw a little birdie flying my way...
What that little birdie was trying to say, trying to tell me, he said Son see..
That He'll be coming soon and you know,
He'll take your heart and soul wherever you might want to go...
What that little birdie truly was trying to say,
HEAVEN'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY...

Rest in peace My Brother.....

Robbie, Peggy and family, I am so sorry for the loss of my classmate and teammate.  You all are in my thoughts and prayers.  Eric will be missed dearly and remember that everything is in God's hand.   God Bless You Guys!  Co 81'

Robbie, May the peace of God embrace you during this time of sorrow. Praying for you and your family.

To Robbie and the Hadley family. No words can express my sadness, emptiness and hollow feelings from the moment I heard of the passing of my oldest friend from the neighborhood. Eric was a very great friend to me. My dad always reminded me that he would come by and see him while I was away in college and he loved and respected him as well. he took down to the country to visit his family and ride horses, fish, kill snakes.....so many memories. We played little league ball, he gave me so many puppies, he was the local breeder...lol! We got our first Quadrophonic stereo's in the 70's....with cassette's of course. This was my BF! I will cherish the memories and will always keep you in my heart my brother....

Robbie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
