Following that he worked at Acadia Gas in Bridgewater. In 1970 the family moved to Middleton where he eventually owned and operated his family business. Eric took great pride in employing local people.
An avid golfer, Eric held memberships for many years at the Bluenose Golf Club, Lunenburg, Eden Golf and Country Club, Paradise, and Osprey Ridge Golf Club, Bridgewater.
Over the years, Eric was also an active member of the Middleton Lions Club and the Middleton Curling Club and enjoyed his time on the shore in Lunenburg County.
He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
