I wish I had some great words of wisdom to share, but Christ, Sam, & Lauren.  I only knew you thru your grandparents and our interactions there at the ‘deck’ while I lived nearby, but I was fond of Each of you and of Eric.
Curvin and Jean and ya’ll made me feel like I was more then just a friend / neighbor.
When I got Jeanie’s note, it ripped me… How much tragedy can one family endure? I wish I were closer to offer more then words…
I am a better person and man for having known all of you and my deepest sypathies and empathy goes out to you all…
 
Dave Landis, the old guy across the way from Jean/Curvin..

I’m at a loss for words… I’m so sorry for your loss. Jean, Chris and girls, Monica and family, and the rest of the family, I hope you find strength through the people who were touched by Eric’s life. He was bigger than life in so many ways, especially his sense of humor. I feel fortunate to have been in band with him, then living so close to you Monica, so I could stay in touch! Prayers and hugs for today. I’m sorry I couldn’t come today to give you them in person, but my recovery from surgery has been rough. 
Sending my love!

Eric,
Thank you for being an honest and sincere individual.  During my time at LFC, anytime I road on an engine or truck with you as the officer, I knew I was in good hands.  All of us, especially the juniors,  could count on you to make the right decisions.  Never was I nervous to see you sitting in “the seat.”  You will be missed by the lives you touched.  I never had to opportunity to meet your wife and children, but knowing you are a great human being, they were deeply cared for.  Rest easy Eric.  We got this.

Eric,
You are one of the funniest guys I ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I can think of so many times that I have said to Ron – after seeing you – “man that Eric Weaver is so funny”!  I know you are in heaven right now making all the angels laugh like crazy.  And of course, seeing Curvin, who I think is where you got your humor from!  What a blessing you were on this earth.  Got to know you thru the Lititz Fire Company, and so glad you have such a giving heart for all those years and volunteered so many hours.   Here’s my funny story back to you.  Remember when you drove the fire truck to our wedding – so we took take the ride from the church to the reception?  So kind of you!  Really what I remember is in the quiet of the ceremony, hearing all the “beep, beep, beep” – as you back up the engine in front of the church.  Man, were we laughing.  It wasnt just once – it went on for quite some time, I guess you had to get it straightened out.  Whenever I watch the video or audio of our service, I laugh everytime that happens.  You are the best.  Thanks for all the memories.  You will be missed and treasured for years to come.  See you on the other side and keep the laughs coming.  I probably will think of you every time I see a squirrel!  Love, Jody Oettel

My condolences to Eric’s family and friends as he will be dearly missed. I went to school with Eric since Kindergarten, graduated together and have stayed in contact till the present. I will miss his smile and goofy things he did and most importantly his friendship. He got me through some really tough times and I thank God I was blessed to have his lifelong friendship. I thank you for your service with the fire company all those years!! I will miss hearing “Hey Keller……” I miss you already and I’m very heartbroken over your passing but we will meet again someday. RIP my friend 😢❤️!!
