Condolence: I just heard the news today and am still in shock; my condolences to Brenda and the entire family. I met Eric just 3 years ago when he started helping me with my cabin but soon came to know what an exceptional person he was. He not only checked on me & my construction progress but also took me out on the lake (my friends too) & even included me in trivia night in Rutherfordton. He was such a thoughtful person and he never met a stranger; he will be sorely missed at the cabin!

Condolence: Dear Gibson family. Just today I heard the sad news. I spoke with Eric the week before his NY weekend away. I was honored to be invited but sadly unable to attend. I expected a call this week to hear all about it. We met at a company conference in Quebec about 3 years ago and became and stayed friends despite the great distance between us. What a nice, funny and sincere guy he was. He was an excellent conversationalist with a great sense of humor. He will be missed. I can't even imagine the pain and sorry you are feeling. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers over the next while. Your Canadian friend forever.

Condolence: On behalf of all of Sarah's team members at IECRM, we are thinking of you and your family. Peace be with you, Marilyn Stansbury and the IECRM Team

Condolence: Eric was a very bright light in our coummuity. I am sorry that he left far too soon. Brenda, I am thinking of you and praying for your comfort.

Condolence: Eric was such a wonderful person to work with. He always showed everyone such professionalism and kindness when working with them. We always enjoyed hearing his fabulous Boy Scout adventure stories. There will definitely be a hole in each of our hearts here at The Coves. He was genuinely appreciated and will be deeply missed. Please accept our deepest condolences and know that all of his family and friends are in our hearts.

Condolence: Brenda, Please know that our prayers are with you and your family at this time. Eric was a fine man and will be greatly missed by all.

Condolence: Brenda I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Eric’s passing. He was always so nice and helpful to me at the church. Please know that I am praying for peace and understanding for you and the family.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of loss. Eric was a great man and will be missed!

Condolence: Brenda, we were shocked to hear of your loss. James and I have you in our prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you during this time.

Condolence: We are shocked to hear of Eric's death. Our hearts go out to you all. When I saw Eric at Church, he never failed to ask about Nick and Alex...how they were doing in Scouts and any Eagle Scout project plans. He really was a great man and will be missed!

Condolence: We were very saddened to hear the news of Rick's passing. He was a great friend. I have many fond memories of the hilarious times we had in our high school years in Cherry Hill, N.J. He attended Sunni's and my wedding in Miami, FL in 1974. During a sailboat trip out on Key Biscayne for my bachelor party, Rick slid off the deck into the drink while we were battling stormy seas. As we tried to get back to him, he found he could stand up in the 5 ft. deep water and just stood waiting there while we tacked around to pick him up. Later he came to visit Sunni and me in Stafford, Texas while our sons were very young. We will miss his easy smile and great humor. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family.

Condolence: I'm not sure where to begin. I've know Rick since 9th grade where he quickly became one of my best friends. We were teammates on our football team. He was a brother I never had. After high school and college, we remained close even though we now lived many miles apart. I was with Rick in upstate New York when he left us. We spent most of Saturday together visiting a historic site he wanted to see where we talked and had an ice cream cone. I left early the next morning and didn't find out about his passing until Monday morning. I am devastated and heartbroken but so very happy I decided to make the trip for the annual get together with high school friends. I had not gone to any of the past get togethers but when Rick asked if I wanted to go this year, something told me "it was time". I lost one of my best friends up there. Brenda, please accept Roberta's and my deepest condolences and know that Rick loved you, Halley and Michael very much. We are unable to get down but you and Rick will be in our hearts and prayers. I'm sure I'm rambling on but this hasn't quite sunk in yet.

Condolence: Brenda, my heart hurts. I am so sorry to learn of Eric's death and your loss. In my many years of working with him at AFA he was always kind and courteous to me. He was so supportive when my Russell died. I pray for God to give you, Halley and Michael the strength, comfort and peace that you need to carry you through this difficult time. Let me know what I can do to help. I'm so sorry I will not be able to attend the service on Saturday. Will be with family in VA for an annual get together. Love you Brenda.

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Eric filled the room with joy and laughter, and will be missed beyond measure. We love you all.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to the entire Gibson family. I graduated with Ric from Cherry Hill High School West in 1968, and remember his smile, laugh and friendly manner. I know he was a sincere, good friend to many of the guys in our group. Good thoughts and prayers to all at this difficult time.

Condolence: I am so very sorry and sad to hear about Rick. His boyhood friends knew him as "Hoot." We were in together in the Boy Scouts and the Presbyterian Church youth group. After high school, I worked for a time at his Father's Texaco station in Cherry Hill, NJ. Rick taught me how to fix a flat tire, change the oil, and do basic repairs on an automobile. I will always remember his infectious laugh and zeal for life. I believe he had a sincere faith in Jesus Christ and I look forward to seeing him in heaven.
