Eric immigrated to Wilkie, SK April 23, 1928 at age 11. At 40 years old, he ran a propane business in Fort St. John, BC, before moving to Salmon Arm in 2000. He enjoyed golfing and was very good at it; even playing with the pros.  A jokester in any circumstance and a generous person by heart; helping many in the Filipino community financially and also helping out others by randomly handing out gift cards for groceries.   

Thank you to all the doctors and nurses at Mt. Ida Mews for the care given to Eric.

  1. My sympathy is with u all. I remember him living above my Mom, the. Myself, and him always up and early, shovelling the snow, on the sidewalk out front, going for his walk to Piccadilly mall, and back. He was a loving gentle kind sole. Miss him dearly, and he will always be with u, side by side.

  2. We are glad you are with Heavenly Father in Heaven

  3. Safe in the arms of Jesus Eric.

  4. Safe in the Arms of Jesus now Eric.
