Thought of about you this week
I was thinking about Eric and was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I went to U of I with him. He was a kind and gentle soul. God bless him.
I've just discovered that Eric died in 2006; and I'm sitting here crying because the light that he was, has gone out. His posts were something I looked forward to - I looked for his contributions and enjoyed them. They were so worthwhile. I hope he realises that, now - how much we who had never met him other than through his words, loved and respected him deeply. The world needs people like Eric, so much. Half the planet away, and almost two years after his death, discovering that he's gone has my tears flowing. He was so special, even to a stranger thousands of miles away. My love and condolences to his family and those he loved.
Finding out about his death so late is because in 2005 my son died from cancer, and my visits to the Robbins site have been sporadic since then until recently.
You ROCK Eric!
Today was a hard day.... I miss you so much my friend! You will always be an inspiration to me. Thank you for making a positive difference in my life. I will continue to keep your 'Quoters Thread' going for you. Thank you for that wonderful gift!
All the best to Lilia & your loving family. I'm sure they miss you very much.....
Hey Eric. I'm amazed at how you're still making a difference here in the world of space and time. Come back when you're ready - we always need good people like you here.

I was shocked to hear the news about Eric. I had lost touch with him after college. We were fraturnity brothers at U of I. He was always a very sincere, respectful person. I enjoyed the times I spent hanging out with him. It seems by this website that he had a very loving family, some wonderful friends, and was able to find a purpose in his too short of life. He will be missed and remembered.
Love & prayers
So sorry to hear of your loss. We're praying for you this Christmas time. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and keep you close to him.
Condolances
I just wanted to offer my complete condolances to Eric's family and close friends, especially at this time of year. It's heartbreaking to hear of such a tragic loss. My heartfelt prayers are with you all.
God Bless
Cheryl.
don't grieve for me
DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Eric's words
That's when something interesting happened. "Wow", he said, "You should come by my office. We have many projects, and I'd love to hear more about what you're interested in." I had thought most academics would be turned off by the idea of someone who wants to make money. Not so, in fact it's the opposite. They love a directed person who isn't afraid to make a few bucks off of his blood, sweat, and creativity. So, I'll probably be meeting with him later this year, and I'll see what he has to offer.
I guess ol' Zig was right, you really can get what you want by helping other people get what they want.
