[Franck Oudin]

Hi Marc,
i just learn this really sad news this morning and i am really sad,Eric and I have done some very good project together,and it's terrible to not be able to carry on, it was such a pleasure meeting him at last ,last year in Telford with you.

I will miss him very much,and i hope that his wife and kids will go throught this very difficult moment.


Best regards FRANCK.

How very sad! He and the rest of the group in the Czech Republic have been doing wonderful work on the 109G and the Fw 190.

Perhaps we should also take this as a wake-up call to those of us with projects in the mill, to get to work because we may not be around for as long as we hope to be.

He will be greatly missed.

That´s sad news indeed...

What a loss for his family - my deepest condolences.

And what a loss for all Luftwaffe enthusiasts - both for his expert knowledge such as the human being

This is the worst news I have hear last time Eric was great man and very good friend. One of the best person I have met. Very kind and open to cooperation. Last few months he spent much of time on my forum and learn much about the aviation digital art. Must say that his first digital clor profile was glorious!

I still can not belive that this happen but... this is the life. My deep condolence to his family and friends. He willstay forever in our hart and memorie.

I have been informed about his sudden death yesterday in a short e-mail sent by his wife and brother. What can I say, I was speechless! I just didn't have the force to break this very sad news in public.

Eric wrote me his last e-mail on October 9, 2008 at 6:04:27 PM. Several hours later he was gone. Incredible! I kept sending him scans from a Flugbuch he had shown interest in, without of course knowing what had happened, and he had promised to send me a CD on this past Saturday...
Such is life, I guess, but it's still hard to swallow it.

In closing, let his last sentence from most probably his last e-mail sent related to his/our hobby, stand here as testimony for his great character and generousity:

"Hope the CD will be helpful for your researches, and one more time I am very pleased to be able to help you.

Eric"

Rest in peace, Eric.

Marc,

I am deeply saddened by this terrible news. A real loss for our community. Of course our thoughts should go to his close relatives.

This really is sad news. Like many others here, I was in touch with Eric just a couple of weeks ago.
