My fondest memories of Eric were of him and I sitting on our bikes outside of Louise Scheuing's house waiting after baseball practice for the big Make-out session between Weezy and Billy Jones to end...Those were funny times. they were in LOVE..all we did was laugh at how silly,kissy,huggie those two were...He was a good friend and we got thrown under the bus while the other two played suckie face...We had good conversation and I really liked him as a great friend. I mean who else could have understood how hard it was to be around those two always kissin...YUCK! LOL
