Eric was a great person, a dependable leader and more than just an employee here at C & E Plastics he was also a friend who I could talk to and share burdens of work and other things that would come up day to day. We shared a special bond with our birthday being the same day and would celebrate it often with a lunch together. I am deeply grieved with our lost he will be sorely missed by me and all of us at C & E Plastics.

I can see Dad on a beautiful creek Bank showing Eric all the joys of fishing like he tried to show us silly girls he raised. He is in good hands. God bless all of you.

I didn’t know Eric, but I am Virginia Larkey’s neice. I am very sorry and may God bless you All.
I want to give my condolences to Eric’s family. I am Dana’s cousin and saw Eric at many family gatherings. I realy liked him and I am very saddened to hear about his death. I first met Eric when he was with Dana at my sister’s wedding several years ago. I thought he was so nice and very good looking! I thought the same thing the last time I saw him,too,at the funeral of Dana’s nephew. I was so grateful to him for what he did for her and her family. He just took charge and was there for anything or anyone who he thougt needed it; he was so kind. I adore Dana and I am glad she had such a man, as Eric, in her life. Thank you for letting my share my thoughts.
MRS. LARKEY, I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I HAVE KNOWN ERIC SINCE THE FIRST GRADE, AND I HAVE SOME VERY FOND MEMORIES OF ERIC THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOMETIME, IN THE HOPES OF OFFERING YOU SOME COMFORT AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. LAURA (VARITEK)MILTKO ELMKO@YAHOO.COM
Mrs. Larkey, Ray, Dale and Holly, I can’t even start to say how sorry I am for your loss. I have always considered Eric as one of my best friends, and I will miss him. I feel terrible that I can’t be in town to say good bye, and give you my condolences in person. Over the past few days, I keep recalling the good times I spent with Eric, and they all put a smile on my face. Your entire family will be in my prayers.

I thank you for the tenderness That fills each day with happiness A joy that last eternally A friend to me you’ll always be. I thank you for just being there And all the things you had to bear And though there are times we don’t agree A friend to me you’ll always be I thank you for the gift of love A gift that’s sent from Heaven above A love that is of purity A friend to me you’ll always be I thank you for the things I see And what our friendship shows to me I thank you for eternity A friend to me you’ll always be!!! We will always love you!
sorry to hear about the lose, my prayers are with all of you! i am sharon and roberts daughter never met him but from what i heard he is a very nice guy
Eric was a HS classmate. I am very sorry for your loss.
Our greatest sympathy goes out to you for the loss of your son & brother. I golfed with Eric in Myrtle Beach and it just won’t be the same without him. We have some great memories but he will be sadly missed by all. My wife never got the chance to meet him and feels badly because he was such a great guy. We were able to make it to the wake but unfortunately couldn’t stay for the funeral. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family throughout this difficult time.
I had the privilage to meet Eric while I was working at Giovanni’s Pizza during high school. I thought he was a pretty descent fellow from the first time I met him and fortunately had the opportunity to know him better as both a friend and co-worker. We worked together at C& E Plastics for about 4 years. We had worked on the road together at many jobs and would routinely meet at some local watering hole in Weirton for a cold beer. I feel the two of us had a great respect for one another and therefore become good friends. I also had the privilage of meeting his two brothers through working, weight lifting, and casually. I have the upmost respect for all of them. They all are top notch individuals who I am proud to say are my friends. Eric was an extremely bright, responsible, and joyful type of person to be around. About 3 years ago I up and moved to Virginia but Eric and I still stayed in contact and I looked forward to meeting up with him when I would come home to visit. I have truely lost a one of a kind friend whom I will miss alot. My thoughts and prayers go out to each member of his family. Good fortune to you all. Sincerely, Jason Reed
