    I know this is a place for condolences…but being his daughter I just wanted to express my heartfelt thoughts to my Daddy and Maryann. Firstly Maryann you were the soul mate my Dad needed. He loved you so much! I miss him so much….he is my Hero…such a gentle meek and mild soul. Your sense of humour which you passed on to Jeff myself and your Grandchildren. You know what Dad I can even say your sense of humor is in your great grandaughters!!! From the time I was a wee gal…I loved watching you work outside…you always had something on the go. When I am walking in the woods, or hear the sound of a chainsaw…it brings back fond memories. Teaching my husband David to be able to survive in Canada…it was you. You never gave up on me or Jeff. Love you so much…I had so many great yrs with you. For that I am forever grateful. . I love you Daddy forever and always. Wish you could play me a song on your guitar. You will never be forgotten as long as I shall live.

    Dear Maryann,.
    How sorry I am to know that your beloved Eric has passed. Eric was indeed a bright light in our congregation.
    Always welcoming, and with such a kind sense of humour.
    He also showed such strength and courage throughout his illness, and I know you were always there by his side so loyal, giving him love and encouragement.
    Please accept our sincere condolences at your great loss. And please take good care of you, as your dear Eric would have wished
    With sisterly love. Maggie and from Peter too.

  25. Betty and Bradford Cunningham

    There will always be a void in our hearts. Eric was always a very special Friend for us. We went to the Trans Scotia and Blarney Stone almost ever week where we enjoyed many friends. We will see Eric soon as the Bible promises for in John 5:28,29″Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Also we look to the DAY as written in GOD’s word Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a load voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them.and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more.

    Dear Maryann,
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
    I have such pleasant memories of Eric since my childhood as he always had a smile for me or a witty word to make me laugh.
    Mom and Dad loved him very much.
    They will have lots to talk about in the new system.
    It’s a comfort to know Jehovah misses our dear ones more than even we do and longs to bring them back.His patience strengthens me and I know he will fortify you too.
    Lots of Love
    Natalie and Jason Hutzulak
