From Eric’s friends, Jon & Tina:
Eric was the best kind of human – kind, patient, loving, understanding, and so damn fun to be around. He was a drummer and percussionist, dedicating decades of his life to teaching high school marching bands and drum corps around the Philadelphia area. He was the Percussion Director at Ridley High School, and JOINED THE RIDLEY HIGH SCHOOL BAND IN YOUR STUDIO A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THE PUPPY POOPER BOWL HALFTIME PERFORMANCE!
