Eric and I studied together at NMIT on the Bachelors degree. I remember Eric as a very proud, humble, gentle Maori man, he had a very calm and respectful presence, a very special man. I was very fond of Eric. I recall a social gathering we organised for our peers at NMIT, we all went to Kaiteriteri beach for lunch, Eric took groups of us out in a waka, he had a respectful way of sharing the culture of the waka with us in a way that was both fun and inclusive. My deepest sympathies go to his whanau, this is a huge, shocking loss for you all, he was such a gifted man, I feel very fortunate to have called him a friend. I am currently traveling in Vietnam, otherwise I would definatly attend his service to pass on my sympathy to Erics whanau.

Sending love and heartfelt thoughts from Michelle, Karen, Grant and Anne Lander. So sad to hear of Eric's passing. Big hugs to you all . Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time
