Please direct memorials to your local Salvation Army. Eric fondly remembered that The Salvation Army soldiers were the first to greet him and his fellow army men with hot coffee and donuts when they arrived home from the Korean War. To learn more about Eric and his years of life experiences, read his lighthearted book Stories from Life, by Publish America. Eric will be cremated and a private burial ceremony will be held at a later date in Chicago.
