Eric spent 6 years in Toronto working at the Ministry of Environment, later relocating closer to home to work 28 years in Belleville at Nortel. In retirement Eric drove school bus for Martin’s which he thoroughly enjoyed. He played on stage for many bands throughout the years and had a great love for making music and playing his bass guitar. Eric was also a lover of our feathered friends and made sure bird feeders were well stocked.
