Believe it or not, Eric was drafted into the army out of Wichita Kansas. He and I went through basic and AIT together. Got together again for R&R in Australia. My wife and I got to visit with him at his home in New Jersey a few years back. Always enjoyed my time with him. So sorry to find out he has passed.

Eric was a dear neighbor to our family, and we just thought the world of him. Although he kept to himself most of the time, he was always willing to help. He even volunteered to teach my son Doug how to parallel park, which they did many weekends down at the parking lot in Corson’s Inlet. Doug thought he was just the coolest and started calling him “Uncle Eric”. (And yes, Doug is excellent at parallel parking now). We’re sad we can’t make it to celebrate our wonderful friend’s life tomorrow as I now live in Florida and my son lives in California. Nevertheless he’ll be on our minds as he had been for awhile now. Rest in peace my sweet friend. You will always be missed by The Hanson’s.

Fond memories of my second cousin Eric through the years, especially the younger years at family gatherings on Long Island. He was a good and kind person.

Eric played in our Ocean City Senior Golf League for several years - but far too few. He was a wonderful man. We were lucky to have known him. I came to enjoy birding a little, thanks to his infectious enthusiasm for them. That zest reflected his approach to life in general, even in the face of the long, courageous battle he fought with regard to his health issues. He was a true patriot, and a fine man. Godspeed, Dear Eric.

I will miss my uncle for the rest of my life. He taught me so much. I will think of him when I see the Phillies play, while I watch the birds, when I visit the ocean, and with the countless other things that bring him to mind. His gifts are sprinkled throughout my life, his advice continues to guide, and his love and our times together will always be treasures.

Eric and I have known each other since the 6th grade at Dickinson Avenue Elementary School. Through the years Eric was best man at my wedding and I was the best man at his wedding. We had many adventures throughout the USA. After we both returned from Vietnam we began a 7 month trip around the USA. So many memories from travels to playing golf in our later years. Eric was so proud of his “Hole in One” and I was there to witness the tee shot plus the beers to follow. Eric will be a part of my history, past and future. Rest in peace old friend.
