Eric,
You are my brother. I thought we had more time to reconnect and be besters again. Life is crazy and unpredictable. You've made such an impact on so many lives, including mine. You had such a way of lifting me up when I was down, or making me feel better about any bad situation that I was in. I'll miss your positive outlook on life, your humor, your willingness to make others feel better, your adventurous nature, and so many other things that made you a great person. Your family is my family and I'll do my best to help you watch over them. You'll always be my bester. I'll see you on the other side one day. Love you man.

I showed you this photo 2 weeks ago when you came over for dinner. I’m happy I got to meet Clem during happier times and hear about your future plans. Was so excited for the both of you. We had such a nice time and I’m so so glad you got the chance to meet my daughter.
I’ve had such a range of emotions these last few days but the forgotten memories that have been resurfacing have brought some of the hardest laughter.
Love you Stina

“To my brother in spirit, my best friend. From kindergarten , your family was my second home, and I’ll forever be grateful for the love and warmth they gave me. Your mom wasn’t just your mom , she was foona mine and your mom She welcomed me with open arms, and through your family mom uncle Vic and weesy, I saw what it meant to be truly cared for and have siblings . The memories we made the , the lessons I learned, and the laughter we shared will never fade.
You were more than a friend; you were family, a brother who shaped my world and showed me the beauty of real friendship. I carry your spirit with me, and I know I’m better because I had you in my life. I love you, brother. I’ll hold onto every memory until we meet again

I'm really going to miss our friend Eric. One of the funniest and most unique people, who never took life too seriously, and always so fun to be around. I'll always love you buddy and I'll always think about you when I'm on the water. My deepest condolences to the Dellefave family at this time. The world lost an amazing soul

Eric,
Though we never had the chance to meet face-to-face, I felt a profound connection to you through Matt Farina’s endless stories. I was so eager to finally meet the man who had been such an integral part of his life. You were destined to be not just a friend, but a brother to me, an incredible godfather to our child, and the perfect best man by our side.
Growing up together since the tender age of five, you and Matt forged an unbreakable bond, sharing countless adventures, and laughter. Your infectious laughter, sharp wit, and kind heart were a beacon of joy, lighting up every room you entered.
I’ll forever cherish the vivid pictures Matt painted of you - the life of the party, the loyal friend, the caring soul. You were more than just a name in a story; you were a part of our lives, even before we knew it.
Thank you, Eric, for being such an exceptional friend, and brother.
Now, you'll watch over us from above, a guardian angel overseeing the ocean, just as you loved to do, your whole life.
Rest in peace, Dear Brother.

Eric is and will always be a brother to me. I am heart broken over his loss. I have nothing but great memories with him and he will always be in my heart. I love and miss him. I will never forget all the great times we had and he will live on through me. I still can’t believe he is actually gone. I know he is at peace and in heaven now watching over us all. Miss you brother!!!!
