It does not alleviate the pain of the loss, But One thing I have learned over time in the Marine Corps is when you have lost a great friend/comrade. It is to know that you have had the privilege and honor to know them and call them your friend. Something that others have not had the same benefit to know.by ObKrieger

Tragic news
RIP Eric.
I have Spoken with Beth Zentner ..and she has agreed and looks forward to speaking with everyone here on this thread. Im sure it will not only bring a sense of peace to Her...but also to those members who were close with Eric. I am in the process of setting up an account for her..and she will contact me when she is ready. Regards Larry

She will certainly find plenty of support here Larry - from right around the world. She may not have realised just how well liked and respected her husband was in this multinational forum.
Terrible news. RIP Eric.
Nooooo...That's not possible....
Eric ,you threated me like a king when i manage to buy for you some Vichy era pin's here in France.
You sent me,to thank me ,a gift,a collector issue of newly released Beach Boy's "Smile",complete with a shirt poster etc..
I was happy like a kid,and thought "Gosh,there are really good guys on this planet"
All this place is virtual,it's only the net,but i am deeply sadened by this news.
Please Mrs Zentner, accept here the sincere comdoleances of a french guy.
Here's Eric's obituary, he was clearly a fine man with many interests and talents.

Although I haven't touched a drop of the hard stuff for 2 years, I will make an exception by raising a glass to Eric's memory at the appropriate time tomorrow as my way of saying farewell, I hope some of you will do the same, wherever you may be.
Cheers old pal.

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
Last Entry - For God's sake look after our people.'
In memory of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evans. South Pole Expedition, 30th March 1912.
I will raise my glass to his memory this evening,a toast to a very charming man ,on the soil of France.
18 th of June,when he apparently gets his fatal crash,was also my birthday date,so i am bitter.
What time is the funeral?
It will be Saturday at 11am central time US. 4pm london time. Wish we could all attend and honor this great human in person.
