Indeed. I was just last week considering buying a copy of one of Eric's books on Hypercard, even though I don't speak French! I think of Eric often. He was not only knowledgeable, but kind and modest. I regret never having met him personally.
A few days ago I was looking at his ListMagic, which some of you will remember preceded the DataGrid. It was amazing what he managed to achieve based on a single field object. The DataGrid has come along to replace Eric's work, but I'm sure Eric would have been delighted to see that such a control could be built from combining existing controls. I like to remind myself that we should also appreciate those on this list who also contribute greatly to the furtherance of this community and this programming paradigm. I won't start to list names, because I'll be sure to forget someone. Let's remember Eric and Bill and Mark who are no longer with us. But be glad too that this community is suffused with so many knowledgeable and helpful people. I've been involved here for about a decade, and I've seen new youngsters come along who are also kind and helpful and knowledgeable. It is a great community. I'm glad someone else thought to write remembering people like Eric. I had wanted to do this last week, but thought maybe I was just too sentimental.
