Dear Karen, Keith & Eve, Heather, Robin and family
It was with great sadness that I learned that Eric has passed away.
Having grown up right across the road, I have very fond memories of visiting with Eric and Elsie, night shooting opossum on the farm with George Smith and even on occasion baby sitting' when you were in bed and your Mum and Dad were out for an evening. It was very special when they bought a new Rover and I had a ride - I become inspired!
It is still fresh in my memory being first on the scene when your old home caught fire and it was a tough time for your Mum and Dad, however they rose above the challenge and successfully rebuilt for the benefit of all their wonderful family.
Jacqui and our family join me in extending our condolences to you all at this time. We are thinking of you and know that you will always treasure having Eric as your Dad for so many years.
Sincerely
Ian, Jacqui and the Wickham Family.

Hi Keith and families
I spent many Saturday mornings with this fine gentleman playing the game he had a great love for.
Always a pleasure to enjoy his company and I will treasure the times we golfed together with our now departed mates
