I do not want to get to specific here but Eric has been suffering from a chronic condition for over two weeks now and is still not well.  I checked on him Not to long ago and they were going to do some more tests on him to see if they can arrest the problem.

I talked to his wife Ann a couple of days ago and she asked that people not call until they get this condition under control...

Say a prayer for Eric for his speedy recovery.

Probably a thousand guys know and are thinking of him. They just don't post/were told by friends. Say hi and we'll put in a flight for him at VSC. When he's back in the shop I want another kit.

5 "well wishers" out of over 500 views is not a good average.

That's 'cuz we're shy, and thinking "jeeze, I don't know this guy, just his excellent work".

He'll be in my thoughts.

I didn't realize I had to make a post in order to say a prayer or make a good wish for Eric's diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. I met him briefly at VSC in '07 or '09. "Good guy" was my impression.  D>K Steve

Amen Steve...I seriously doubt that there are any folks involved in CL that don't know Eric and wish him well and a speedy recovery.

I think it's probable that a lot of us are waiting for the OK to call him and tell him to get out of that bed and stop wasting good space and get back to "business".

They don't come any better than Eric and I suspect they broke the mold after he was made!

My prayers as well. Eric actually came to the Northwest Regionals one year to sell his kits and stuff. He decided not to come back as there were others selling stuff as well. Neat guy, has done a lot for the Hobby. Get well soon Eric.

Let Eric know that I am thinking of him.

He's a great guy and always has something interesting to say.

I really enjoy buying stuff from him.  Hope he's back on his
feet in time for Tucson.

I didn't want to mention this earlier as I want Eric tog get well and back on his feet.   I still remember how I got to know him at the first VSC I attended.   A story that needs it's own post.

Jeannette and I sent a get well card. Let him know personally, as I doubt he is monitoring this website if he is as sick as seems indicated. I haven't a clue as to what the problem is, but there isn't a nicer guy in my book! Besides, where am I to get my laser cutting done?  ~^

As Larry says.........there isn't a nicer guy. Thanks to Mike for posting this because I've been e-mailing Eric for a few weeks now about the tests I've been doing on his .15 size Black Tiger motor. I have not heard from him, and my last mail from Eric mentioned a back problem so I sure hope that he will be o.k. soon. I met Eric at the 2001 VSC and he seemed like a real gentleman. When I started on my timer project and it looked like it could sell a few, Eric was recommended to me and I have never been sorry. He is a dead straight businessman and a very nice guy to work with. I wish him a speedy recovery!

Whomever gets to see Eric in person, please let him know that Bill Little is praying for him and wishing him a quick and complete recovery.  Eric and I have never met in person but we began conversations on the phone when I was the PAMPA Products Editor.  That was 20 years ago! LOL!!

If I call to order something, it takes about an hour and a half. Most of that time is spent BSing of course.
