Default RIP Eric the Actor

I'm going to miss the little guy. Wasn't supposed to make it to 18 but almost made it to 40.

Oh crap, that sucks. Didn't check- is Howard on the air today?

edit- apparently he died exactly 12 years after making his first call into the Stern show?

I loved to hate that guy. Some of the things on the show involving him were just hilarious though and I always got a good laugh.

Howard did over an hour about Eric today. He was one of the best parts of the show. It's sad that he's gone.

That's sad.. Eric was probably my favourite caller ever. ZERO POINT ZERO.

Some of Stern's points today were right on the mark, despite being stuck in a wheelchair and the numerous health problems he still managed to become a mainstay on a huge radio show, become somewhat of a TV actor, went to tons of sports events, TV show tapings, wrestling shows, concerts and did some traveling. A lot more than some able bodied healthy people have.

The little guy will be missed.
