There have been many concerned customers of Eric's who have been calling me for updates on Eric's condition. Eric had full open heart surgery and test results this week have come back saying he is doing very well and may even be back on his feet in a few weeks.
HOWEVER, Eric is uninsured, like far too many Americans. It should also be known that Eric is a Veteran. Nevertheless, Eric and his Wife will be hit up with one whopper of a medical bill and we may in the near future help participate with a fundraiser on behalf of those medical expenses.
Anyone who knows Eric knows he's a great guy who loves giving to others. He has established a great business in Downtown Salisbury and we hope you'll join us in supporting Eric and his Wife to get back on their feet.
We'll keep you updated as to when the fundraising will begin. Eric's friends are trying to set up an account today at a local Bank. As soon as we know what Bank and the Account number we'll let you know.

eric has been released and doing alright
Classic example of why we need an insurance mandate.
Cant afford insurance mandated or not. In the real life.
As a veteran Eric should have used his V.A. hospital benifits. As a Delaware resident, I use the Wilmington VA Medical Center in Elsmere Delaware. They are as caring, accomidating and clean as anyone could hope for. If you're not able to pay, you don't. If you are on co-pay (partial) as many vets are, they never hassel you for payment (they carry you). I've been in PGH and Beebe several times in the past, they do not begin to compare to the quality and concern shown with the V.A. hospital in Elsmere.
Another reason why being self employed is a risk. Eric had a great business, and I am sure health insurance rates were through the roof. Glad he is doing well.

obviously you dont know much about "insurance mandates". if you like paying higher taxes pay for mine please?
but Eric, GET BETTER MAN. i need a haircut, and i told my mom and dad i am not going anywhere else until Eric comes back downtown
Joe, please keep us posted on any fundraisers. I'll be happy to chip in to help Eric. I remember Eric going to a special little boy's home to give him a haircut. I'm sure that little one has been watching over Eric.
We miss you Eric. Get better soon.
I will be happy to donate. It is great to be able to help one another.
If he will visit the hospital they may give him a break too. According to how much money he makes. Worth a try.
Eric,
Get well soon. My son and I are praying for you. He even said he will set up his lemonade stand to help you. No worries it will all work out. We miss you....
