I knew Eric for nigh on his 20 years working for HRC (House Removal Co Ltd). Eric was a kind-hearted generous gentle man. I always admired and respected him. He taught me a lot, including ethics, morals and manners! Condolences to Adrianne, Bruce, Carolyn, Tony, Russell and family. So sorry for your loss!

What a great boss, hard but fair.
Taught me everything about house moving. Both Adrienne and Eric were great roll models in my life.
He will be dearly missed.

My childhood memories of Eric are of a strong, tanned and fit man who worked very hard; was very focused on-the-job working for my father in the house removal industry for over 20 years. He felt like part of the family in one sense, not that I personally had very much to do with him. I admired and respected him from a distance. I'm so sorry for his family's loss.
