About	My brother and I moved to Oak Ridge in 1985. After our first year, we moved to The Woodlands. Eric transferred to McCullogh HS and I stayed at Oak Ridge. We were only in Texas for a few years before we moved back to California but those years changed our lives forever. We reminisced of our adventures in "Dad's Porsche" often. The weekend parties were epic! Spring Breaks in Galveston were unforgettable! Unfortunately for Eric, the party never ended. After 9 months of sobriety, Eric lost his battle to alcoholism. His desire for just one drink turned into a need for one hundred. His body simply shut down from the excess intake. His cremated remains were spread in the Pacific Ocean just outside of Newport Beach, Ca not far from where we were both born. Eric lived a life that most people would envy. He surfed, snow and water skied, sky dived, vacationed in Hawaii, Colorodo, Las Vegas and at the river in Laughlin, NV. He lived hard and played hard. He was cocky and arrogant but would give a perfect stranger the shirt off his back. He charmed women almost as much as he pissed them off. His humor and wit entertained us all again and again. Eric has been, and will always be, very missed. He's survived by myself and our Mother. Sadly, our father passed away last year and his ashes were scattered in the same location as Eric's were.
