I remember Eric well. And I was very sorry to learn of his death. Nobody knows this but Eric was the very first Broadway boy I had a crush on. We were in Mrs. Brights kindergarten class together. We had just received our individual photos. My mother cut a picture out for me to give Mrs. Bright. I proudly gave her my picture. That night I must have asked my mom for another picture to give to Eric. I put the picture in my dress pocket and went on to school. I was extremely timid; too shy to give Eric the photo of me. I didn't want to go home with the picture in my pocket because my mother would know I didn't give it to Eric. So, I decided to give it to Mrs. Bright. Her response was, "Cheryl, I don't understand, You just gave me a picture of you yesterday". I was so embarrassed I couldn't tell her anything and burst into tears. Mrs Bright took me to the principals office and they called my mother who explained everything. Still wished I had given Eric that picture. He was always my friend and my first crush. I will never forget Eric.
My condolences to Eric's family. I hope you enjoy my story about Eric, my first crush.
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, WASN'T ERIC MICHAEL AND ROCHELLE MELVIN'S SON? I WAS FRIENDS WITH MICHAEL MELVIN AND I USE TO GO AND HELP HIM WITH HIS PIDGEONS. WHAT HAPPENED TO ERIC?
Eric was/is my brother...Love him dearly and I miss him so much! I was fourteen when he passed. It was very traumatic and devestating to the whole family...There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. It's hard to believe that he has been gone for 20 years...I really think that the stories and memories that have been shared on here is great and Eric would have gotten a big kick out them....Thank you for remembering him and sharing your memories!

Eric was a great person. He was my first boyfriend!
He drowned several years ago at Windmill Lakes while swimming and playing with some friend's dogs.
It was a very tragic accident and he is still missed!
