So so sorry to hear of Erik’s passing. And my condolences to his friends and family. I worked with Erik back in the mid 2000s at Perimeter. Erik was incredibly passionate about his work. He cared deeply to do things right. He was absolutely tireless and dedicated. The most honest and hard working person I know. We talked about mountain biking a lot and I tried to impress upon him the value of wearing a helmet! He was a great guy and will be sorely missed.
