To All my Esteemed Opponents

[Aces8]

Very sad news to hear of Eric's passing. A great opponent and a friend even though I never met him face to face. Even when we weren't playing he would send me emails just to talk about various subjects. Funny thing I was talking about Eric a week ago pretty randomly. I don't even know how it came up but my wife who generally doesn't have any interest about my wargames asked me how I find opponents. Then I went on to tell her about the various opponents I have played around the world and I was talking about Eric being sick but hoping he would come back soon. Unfortunate news. You were a great opponent and a friend.

Eric may your memory be a blessing.
