I am so sorry to hear of Eric's passing, and send sincere condolences to Sandra and family. I only recently learned of Eric, due to a common interest in genealogy and a possible relative. Peggy in Canada, Johnston descendant.

Sincere sympathy and love to Sandra and the whole family.
At first, a distant cousin, then a dear family member. So much fun and energy: finding tuatua with our toes for our first meal. I treasure our times in NZ, your visit here in Canada, and a day with Clive and family in Bilbao.

Sending all my love to Eric´s whanau and community. He was more than just a boss; he was a mentor and most importantly a friend. He taught me what it means to be a part of a team, and that lesson has shaped my entire career, for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you for everything, you will be missed x

Firstly, my condolences to Sandra, Garvin and family. I have had the pleasure of working with Eric for more than 30 years. We were a major supply partner to his business. Over those 30 years, Eric and I developed a lasting friendship.
I will miss this dearly.
I truly believe that the world is worse off with his passing.
All the best Eric, I will share a wee dram in your honour.
