Hi Doug. Been a few years. Great hearing from you. Welcome to the site. I just retired as well. Thought about you numerous times through the years. We had a lot of laughs back in the day.

Hi Neal. Long time, no see!
I was at a banquet last week and saw someone that worked with Eric for a number of years. He told me of Eric's passing. I was sorry to hear it. My memory of Eric was that he was a really good guy. Here's his obituary I found this morning:

Gent Funeral Home in Alton is in charge of arrangements. Online guestbook and information may be found at www.gentfuneralhome.com.
Mike and I were in school together from First grade - Senior year. He did like fast cars, but a skill that is probably forgotten was that he could run like the wind. My mom and his were close friends. His dad made me a ceramic Snoopy and dog house for my 11th grade birthday. I've kept it all these years, but in our last move a few years ago, the dog house was broken. Kind of a silly thing, but I've always loved it. Mike was a great guy. I'm like you guys, I think about him when I pass his old house on Fosterburg Road.
