He began his post secondary education at Lehigh University and most recently, at the University of Massachusetts. Eric was always a talented young man and enjoyed many marine activities with his entire family, whom he cared tremendously about. He was also quick with a match or a firework, everyone could depend on Eric to ignite the largest, most sustainable fires.
