It broke my heart to here this news of Eric.  I remember fondly him coming into my shop as a high school senior to interview for a position.  He was young and eager, the kind of person a shop supervisor wishes he could have ten more of.  In the end, just after enlisting, he changed his mind and chose a different career field to serve in.  It was a lost in the Guidance and Control Shop, but a win for the 101st Air Refueling Wing to have gained an outstanding Airman.  Fly high Eric. It was an honor to serve with you.
