Re: Oh no - This sucks
I was on a Lake Superior trip with Erik a few years back. Great guy ... he very much loved diving the wrecks. He always came up well after the rest of us, and on the way back to shore he'd recount his dive. His enthusiasm was infectious, and because of his penchant for researching the wrecks before he dived them it was like listening to him talk about a visit with an old friend.
He was way too young, and with way too much life left to live, to be talking about him in the past tense.

Very sad. My condolences. 47 is way too young. RIP
Re: Oh no - This sucks
Met him twice. Seemed like a very nice guy.
Re: Oh no - This sucks
I also met him twice and he seemed like a real nice fellow, he was going to show me some lake Washington dive sites after my mod 1 class.
Condolences to his family.
RIP Erik, see you on the other side.

Ouch... I met and dove with Erik when was helping out Mel as a DM way back when I took my CCR trimix (10+ years ago now.) Great guy...sad loss...
There are no stupid questions, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots...

Seattle Times has an article about Erik's time cooking for the sorority.
