Dear Bev and family. My heartfelt sympathies. I remember Eric well in BP as that real dapper well dressed man. A gentleman. A man with a great sense of humour. I will also remember him and his first vintage of Cloudy Bay sav blanc what a powerful drop. He would bring over a case or two for our 25 club get togethers. Kind regards. Mike Aamodt BP Marine Manager

I am very sorry to hear of Eric's passing. He was an amazing boss and mentor to myself at BP, as I know he was to many others.
It's an understatement to say he changed my life, as he arranged for me to move from Wellington to BP London HQ in 1986, and from there my career took off internationally.
I will forever be grateful to this wonderful gentleman and great mate, and was happy to be able to catch up with him and Bev in Marlborough over recent years.
RIP Eric and condolences to all your family.

Eric was such a shining light to everyone he met, he always had that mischievous smile that always suggested he was up to something. Just two days before he passed on, he had that same smile and love for all those in the room. He will be fondly remembered.

I'm remembering some happy times on the Bach deck. Too many beers and home made whiskey. And the year he had that potato cannon - almost hit a boat moored in the bay! Always had a big smile on his face. Thoughts with you all.
