"You have been called from the place of your dwelling, May blessed soul-friends guide you, May helping spirits lead you, May the Gatherer of Souls call you, May the homeward path rise up under you feet and lead you gladly home." Rest easy my old friend.

My deepest sympathys to the family, and the family you didn't mention. Late Willard Whiting's Widow, Lori Whiting, and youngest sister Andrea Whiting. Cousin Eric and I hit it off when we met and we also had our differences but it didn't stop him from blessing me with being a Groomsmen in my wedding 26 years ago. Just wish we didn't lose contact. RIP now until we meet again. â?®ï¸?ð???â?¯ï¸?ð?¤?ð???

I am at a loss for words I am so very sad at the loss of one of my best friends. Eric was more than just a friend to me he was more like a brother. I would not trade the memories of my child hood with Eric. all the things we did together as young boys . even as young men some good some bad. WE have lost touch over the years. But from time to time to we would cross paths. and it would be like days of old like we never skipped a beat. We walked different paths as grown men I always tried to steer him in the right direction. I'm so very sorry to all the family I wasn't there for him in his last days . I did not find out about any of this till today. My heart and prayers go out to Willard Mary Mike David Laura Steven and Rick . I really did love Eric like a brother he was family to me . I would like very much for someone to reach out to me my cell # is 1-508-431-5458 Richard DeAndrade

Dear family, please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one Mr. Eric Whiting. Having lost friends and family myself, I know the pain and heartaches the death of a loved one can cause us. Something that brings comfort to my heart is the hope found in the Holy Scriptures in Isaiah 25:8 & 33:24 that says: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all facesâ??. â??And no resident will say I am sickâ??. Our loving creator has also made arrangements to bring back our loved ones by means of an earthly resurrection as stated in John 5:28. May these promises, give you the strength that you need during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy,
