I just came across this today and joined, unfortunately I made a typo on my user name and am waiting for help on how to change it. It should be LisaGeores, Eric was my cousin, we miss him so much, hard to believe it's been a year and 5 months since he passed. Thank you all so much for remembering him!

Eric had been a mentor to me in many ways, I still wont forget when he saw me at the grid in Sebring and he came over enthousiastically to say hi. he tapped me on my helmet and said to me that If I needed anything he would be there for me, even though I was running with another shop at that time.
Truly a great guy that I'll never forget.

Look at the date of the original post and of Bob's post. This is from over a year ago, when Bob was still around. I sure miss the guy.

Thanks, Mike. My bad. Saw that post w/o looking at date. Thought someone was playing around. Didn't seem cool. I miss Bull also. His humor was infectious.

Eric was a fantastic guy. I still wear one of the Valkyrie racing T-shirts proudly to our DE events.

Thank you all for the additional comments. this time of year is particularly difficult, because the last time my family and I spent time with Eric was two years ago at christmas.

I have one of Eric's 911 racer's I'm restoring, though restoring to be more of a Gulf Livery-themed car...coming along! Wish I knew more about Eric & Valkyrie. Sounds like he was a neat guy.

Mark I can tell you all about Eric and the car you are restoring....I raced out of his shop from 1999 to the day he passed away. Please feel free to send me a PM with your email and we can chat offline.

Eric was a great man, great mentor, and a great friend.
