Eric will also be remembered by his sister Dorothy MacKay of Hardings Point, NB, as well as countless family and friends whom were blessed and privileged to know him. Eric was predeceased by his parents as well as his infant sister. Beyond his family, his favorite pastimes over the years involved music, playing guitar, singing with the Golden Echoes, darts, water skiing, boating, plowing, building inventions, and spending time with family and friends in his garage and at his beach.... adventures with Eric will be sorely missed! Eric was loved by many and was always there to lend a hand or fix a car when needed; he kept his sense of humor through to the end.
