I was one of his cousins though he was more like a brother to me and my siblings. He was kind, funny, smart and very giving. He was far too young to have died, just 5 months shy of his 21st birthday. He died on the Hegenberger Rosd off-ramp in Oakland while driving his prized Pontiac GTO convertible taking an acquaintance and two others to pick up her mother from her job at White Front store in Oakland.His death left a heavy toll on all of his family. |

A true to his faith spirt and always one to say hiKathy Vargas (White) (1964)
I was always in awe of his talent. I was in the band with him, but couldn't hold a candle to his abilities. God only takes the good at a young age. Kathy (Vargas) White

Eric was my music buddy at PHS - I formed a woodwind quintet and Mr. Pappas had us enter the CA Music Teacher's competition held at John Muir; while waiting to go on Eric kept tilting his clarinet back & forth making me nervous - then it happened. The clarinet fell over and the clear crystalite moupiece shatterd all over the room! He borrowed another players mouthpiece and we went on to get a 1st ribbon & "command performance" in the big room. He was so cool.

Eric was a good, dear friend. I've missed him for YEARS. Love to his family.

Ricky and I grew up together. Our families were best friends. My Dad and his Dad built and flew a Piper Cub together and our mothers talked on the phone every day. Our families went camping and fishing together. He was my one best friend as a kid. Still miss him.
