Throughout the year Eric received his copy of St Oswald’s magazine and
always offered encouragement and provided positive feedback of its new
format.
As the tribute records, Eric and family returned to St Oswald’s for
anniversaries and celebrations, the last time being the Rev Lesley-ann’s
special service in August 2015.
After the service we all shared St Oswald’s hospitality and Eric was observed
to be slowly making his way round the tables catching up with his old friends
for a good blether, to reminisce of friends who had gone before and events of
yesteryear, along with a joke, and a laugh.
Eric will be sorely missed but not forgotten and our condolences and prayers
are sent to Isa, Gail, Alistair and family.
