Lorraine McGregorMarie, How sad that Eric has passed. My deepest condolences to you and your family Marie. I have so many really fond memories of working with Eric. John and I also enjoyed our times visiting with you both after you had retired. I remember Eric as being a true mentor. He was so willing to share his knowledge with the group. I remember all the laughs we had as well - isn't it great when you can honestly say that your work was fun! Eric was not only a co-worker, he was a true friend, and he will be remembered fondly by many of us I am sure. In sympathy, Lorraine

Shirlee SchacterDear Marie, My heart goes out to you and your family in this time of great loss. I have many fond memories of Eric, not the least of which was the patience he showed when dealing with my many questions about MAC. Since you were a team at Air Canada, I can still picture you coming by his office at the end of each day to meet up for your home time journey together. Your closeness was inspiring to many. May all the wonderful memories you made together be a source of comfort to you in the days ahead. With love and heartfelt condolences. Shirlee
