Eric was born in Queens, NY. He worked as an Engineer for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, and he was an all-around nature-loving guy with many skills and interests. He shared his talents by helping his family and friends with many home repair projects. He was a master woodworker and especially enjoyed building custom wood furniture. He was a plumber and a hunter, and especially treasured time spent fishing with his nieces, nephews, and friends. He loved the outdoors and traveling, as well as hiking, biking, and bird watching.
