I didn't see this posted anywhere here on Lugnet and I myself just found out about it a few minutes before posting this. I know many here had dealings with Eric, although I do not know if he ever officially joined Lugnet or not. I considered him a close friend even though we never met in person. He died on August, 21st in a car accident while off duty. Here is a link to his obituary. http://www.legacy.com/startribune/LegacySubPage2.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId =456234 You'll be missed...

Its a sad day for all minifig firemen... You'll be missed Eric! I wish his family well. I now will be naming a fire hall after Eric, Hall #3 will become "E. S. McDonald Fire Hall". Josh (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

My prayers also go out to Eric McDonald's family as well. I didn't know him, but I was amazed at his homepage and his lego apparatus. May he be at peace now. ~Sadly, Evan Butzlaff (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.general)

I haven't been very active in the Lego community or even Lego in general for the past few months due to the real world and a lack of interest.
