The services are set for Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 at 11:00 am. The procession will begin at 10:30. Parking is being worked on and I will get more info out at I learn more. The fire department is handling everything with help from my mom. Eric had the reverse flag ceremony this morning and is being cremated right now. The fire department will take his ashes back to his fire station where he will stay until the day of the service.
If you are coming from out of town and want to stay by the house I have a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn, the reservation is under Botkin.

So he put his arms around you and whispered come with me.With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fading away.Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay.A golden heart stopped beating and working hands were put to rest.God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best..from the family of riverside city fire..Milligan's

May God Bless you and Hunter and bring you sunshine in the days coming....love you
Hallie and Hunter,
Your beloved husband and father, Eric, remains in our prayers. I know that all of the families at Saint Jeanne's are praying too. Eric was such a strong and brave person. Please be comforted in that fact that he is now in the loving arms of Our Lord. May God guide you and your family during this time of sorrow. AMEN.

It was with deep sadness that I had learned of the passing of Eric.We worked together at El Toro Fire Department before he came to Riverside city as his new home!No words can bring any of this together for you and your family. Eric knew the Lord and he is with him now and that is all we can hope for each of us! All who knew Eric knows of his quick wit and a joke to help anothers was his trade mark. The world is a little less bright without his star. Thanks for the good times buddy and we miss you. Kevin Skinner and Family from Orange County Fire Authority.
