Condolences to the Medalle family. Eric probably didn't know it but I admired him greatly. We shared the same passions. He will be deeply missed. I'm sure he will be rocking out with some greats in the afterlife.

Thanks, Eric, for being as rabid a Depeche Mode fan as me. I'm glad I passed your "are your a REAL fan?" test and will always fondly remember those conversations. Rest in peace. Carrie, Isa, Nico, and all of Eric's family: My heart goes out to you. May you find comfort in each other and in all of the beautiful details of your lives with Eric. My deepest condolences.

Dear Medalle family,
Eric was a friend of friend of mine from high school, LaSallian Youth. I haven't seen Eric in over 20 years but will always remember him. He was so darling, kind, sweet, thoughtful, smart and funny. He's will remain in my memories as one of the finest young men I have ever met. You are in my daily prayers!

It's hard to believe you're gone, friend. We spoke just last week - arguing about music, as usual. You were an amazing person with such love of life - you made friends everywhere you went. I'll miss playing music with you and being a part of Lined With Trees. You made the world a better place and you're in my thoughts now and forever. Thinking of your family during this trying time. Know I'll be here for them if they need anything. It's the least I can do in your memory.

Carrie & family, I saw you at Carrie and Eric's wedding all those years ago. I think about what a wacky, fun and beautiful family you formed together - triggered every time I look at my own ring, a mirror of the one Eric gave Carrie that day. Isa and Nico are steeped in the wonderful culture of the Stradley-Medalle families and will continue to laugh and thrive, honoring Eric's memory. I share your shock and sadness at this time of immense grieving and I'm sending you all my love and support.
