Uncle Eric was the most amazing person to me and I am sure to many, many others. I am so sad to hear of his passing on. I was hoping to see him and you dear Auntie Kay this summer. Prayers going up for you Auntie Kay and Heather, Terry and families for God's comfort and peace at this time and ahead.
I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Eric, going back to childhood. And, I had the honour of being a 'flower girl' at your wedding as you will recall Auntie Kay! The photo and memories of that event will be cherished always.
Uncle Eric and Aunt Kay were always loving and ready to help. We shared a deep love of God's special creations ...our dogs. And I will always remember when he and you helped me out when Rambo my Rottweiler died of cancer at the Saskatoon Veterinary College hospital. I was working on my PhD and it had been necessary for me to return back to Edmonton leaving Rambo in medical care there. He had aggressive cancer and I had to make the difficult decision from 300 miles away to have him euthanized. Uncle Eric and Auntie Kay in loving, caring compassion decided with me that they would go to Saskatoon and pick dear Rambo up (not an easy feat either, he was 120 pounds live weight), take him home to the farm at Asquith, and Uncle Eric would build a coffin for him. And wow! That coffin was so beautiful...magnificent cedar and perfectly, lovingly created. Uncle Eric had stored Rambo well until I could come to their home and get him. He helped load Rambo in the coffin into my van so I could take him to the Hendrickson farm and have him buried. Truly Uncle Eric was the most wonderful, loving caring person. I will miss him dearly.
My condolences as well to Auntie Margaret and Uncle Don Ottman, Auntie Joyce and all family and friends who are grieving the loss of this precious person who was such a blessing in our lives.
