Deanpaul, thank you for posting this. I joined KA after Eric died and so didn't know him. As I read the memorial my eyes filled with tears as his bravery and compassion shone through the words.
The love and devotion shown by Heather are inspirational and I wish that all of us had partners like her to be there for us.
Many hugs,
Kat

Thanks for posting this, it's important to remember those who have passed on who have impacted KA with their love and grace.

Hi Deanpaul, Thanks for bringing Eric and Heather into memory again. I could copy Kat's words here as it is exactly the same with me. For me Eric's and Heather's story is a big part of what makes Kickas Kickas also as i read it as one of the first things on this site. And indeed in some way they live on through these stories even in complete strangers. I guess that for the people who knew them they would want them to live on even more in everyday life.
Thanks again Gerard.

It's that time of year again, and Eric returns to my thoughts. Sad that I don't remember Eric and the lessons I learned from him more throughout the year.
I was in Utah County earlier this week and took the exit where Eric and Heather lived with her parents. I considered stopping by, but didn't. I had my 3 and 6 year olds with me, we were moving quickly, and I let the excuses rule my day.
Eric passed away November 30th, 2001. Heather died the following year in October. I miss them.

Well put Linc,
We do need to be thankful for Tony and Pete for giving us this wonderful place.
And always keep in our hearts, Eric and Heather and all of our brothers and sisters that have gone on before us to make a wonderful place for us there.
God Bless them all...

Thanks for posting this again DeanPaul!
Unfortunately there are many members here that have passed away and every now that then I will think about each of them.

Thanks for the reminder. For some reason earlier this week I was looking at the earlier posts here and reminded of some of the other ASKickers who we had lost. Unfortunately, I have let Eric and Heather's passing slip too far into the recesses of my mind. Just reading that memorial and reminded me of how Eric's death affected so many here particularly you and those who met him.
I am also glad that you resurfaced if just to remind us all of how we are perhaps falling short of the ideals we learned from Eric. Best wishes to you and your family. I don't like letting those who have gone slip away from my memory, but I dislike even more losing those who are still about. Good to know you're out there with your little ones and wife adding to the plus side of the column.

Still out here, still kickin', still doing reasonably well with all of the unknowns of the little gift we share.
A couple of things have come up for me recently. I'm still figuring them out, I'll post a report when I get there.
It's nice to be seen and still be in the plus column. I've missed the old gang.
