The first impression I had of Eric was that he was a nerd. Oh, haha. He was an intelligent man, and it showed on the outside. He was friendly and easy to talk to. He interviewed me once about how I came to Street Sense and asked me about my background. He had patience and was always willing to help. Eric was a nice guy who worked tirelessly to make Street Sense a good newspaper. He would often bring in students to help the homeless express themselves with their writing.
I will miss him because he always made time to talk and help people. I will miss him not so much because of his amazing work but because how good a person he was. God bless Eric in all his future work.
