From: Henry von Tiesenhausen
Relation: We mey at a seminar. I was a client of Eric.
Such sad news to hear that Eric has passed away, my condolences to his wife and two daughters. It is difficult to find the right words when we have to say the final-goodbye to a friend and trusted advisor. One thing that stays with us are the good memories. I met Eric at a seminar more than 10 years ago, his presentation was very impressive; the topic: tax issues when selling ones company. In 2009 I approached Eric to do the taxes for my two companies. When I sold them in 2010 Eric dealt superbly with what to others would have been very complex tax issues. Over the years our business relationship became also a friendship. During our get-togethers we talked about our interests and families. Eric often talked about his two daughters and their career aspirations. Let us remember Eric for what he was; an outstanding tax accountant, a hard worker and a great person to be with.
From: Alan Lazzari
Relation: Colleague
Eric and I were in the same tax study group for many years. It was a shock to hear the news of his passing. He always brought a sense of humour to the meetings and I’ll remember him for that.
From: Charles A. Buchan, CPA, CA Deloitte LLP
Relation: from his time in Prince George
Eric was a true gentlemen in all our dealings for common clients and a man of thought and understanding of tax issues which we both faced. He was a good athlete but more importantly, an excellent professional who respected the views of others. A great loss to those who knew him and worked with him.
