Eric sadly lost his 13 month battle against cancer. On 24th August he passed peacefully in his sleep in the arms of his wife, TINA. He tried fighting the illness and lord knows he tried.

Eric will be sadly missed and forever loved. There will never be a day go by that he isn't in our toughts and hearts.

We love you.

Eric's love for life was his lovely wife Tina. Through thick and thin they were as strong as SUPERGLUE, never before have i seen a bond like theirs.

Throughout the illness Eric was nursed by his wife, he never complained about his pain or treatment recieved. When in pain he never let on. He wanted to live life to the full, NO MATTER WHAT. He was a very brave man. I think the LORD above wanted an angel, so he took ours. I would describe Eric as an angel as that is exactly what he was.

Eric was a loving father to ALL his children, Caroline, Mark, Ruth, James and his baby girl Ellen. He was adored very much by all his 10 grand babies. They all were important to him. He loved spending time with them and his wife.

He enjoyed having a laugh and joking with people. He was a very funny character, but loving with it.

He enjoyed lots of music, mostly 50's, 60's, 70's and ABBA. He never hurt anyone, he also loved helping people, no questions asked.

He made friends very easily and has lots of them.

Before he passed on, he wanted everyone that WAS in his life to know that he loved them.

Eric always said that he'd wait for Tina at heaven's gates to welcome her in, because he truely loved her.

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.
Deep condolences,
