Dear Jeanette and family, I am so sorry to hear of Erics passing if I could only have given my appreciation of the opportunity and support through such a difficult time Eric and you Jeanette gave me, I used all those skills and moved on to bigger things and for that I thank you both, I often think of times like tarping the RPR pile in the middle of a storm at 2am and pulling a gearbox out in the sleet (250 getting polished in the workshop), not to mention backing into Erics ute not once but twice and causing much distress. Thankyou for being you.
Much Appreciation Aussie
