Oh wow.
I've known Eric online for over ten years now. He was one of the pioneer
builders in the hobby, faithfully documenting his passion and amazing work for
as long as I've known him. Eric was an original.
I had the privilege of meeting him and spending several days with him at
LEGOWorld 2002 in the Netherlands. I was in awe of the models he displayed there
and the passion he exuded as he described to me every last detail. He was also a
joy to be around and socialize with.
I feel terrible, as I haven't talked to him in years. I've always looked forward
to seeing him again on a future trip to Holland.
My heart goes out to his family and close friends. I'll miss him.
