He taught in the Berrien Springs and Niles area until his move to Lansing, where he continued teaching. Eric enjoyed teaching, reading, riding his motorcycle, biking and walks on the beach. He had a great sense of humor and a quick wit.

I remember that Eric was very shy, quiet,  but  -  per obituary-  accomplished,  adventurous and  had/has a good family beside him.  May his St. Joe Spirit remain with us..    Jennifer
