Eric had undergone a procedure on his eye and the surgeon recommended a nights stay in hospital and unfortunately he developed a chest infection>pneumonia and passed quickly away.

Eric was one of a kind and many of us, due to current circumstances, were sadly unable to say our goodbyes. After a long and eventful life, we're sure those close to him have many happy memories.

Eric always enjoyed watching the Blacks and was a regular home and away and in the latter years relied on son Ray to get him there!

Eric was a real supporter of Northwich RUFC and his presence on the touchline will be dearly missed but his spirit will be with Ray who is determined and looking forward to following the Blacks for years to come.
