R.I.P. Eric.

I had read the sticky post about his 65 flametop replica for sale in the emporium, and that post was just over two weeks ago. Damn cancer.

I hope you are in a better place now Eric.

RIP Eric. I just emailed him last week to offer any help I could. I didn't realize how far along the cancer had progressed. Nice guy, always had good posts/advice. He'll be missed.

Rest In Peace.

I never met him, never spoke to him. I know this is just a forum, and the sun would still come up tomorrow if TGP didn't exist. Yet here I am, saddened by his passing. We are all unique in this world. And his presence, his essence, has passed on, and too soon. That is sad.
Rest In Peace Mr. Blitstein.

Completely agree, always seemed like a positive and helpful guy from his posts.

My condolences to his family, and friends.

I actually got this e-mail yesterday from his family.

I personally known the man on and off for 10 years. Jammed with him a few times, bought my first real amp from him. And have played his Les Paul and his favorite little amp, his 20 watt Soldano. I'll miss talking to him on the phone about gear.

I'll miss you Eric B. May you rest in peace my good friend.

I'm still in shock about this. I talked to him a couple of weeks ago and was planning on giving him a call to see how he was keeping...

He was a cool guy.

Eric was a great friend of mine and a contributer to TGP for years. I had known him since 1992 and miss him dearly already. Those who had the opportunity to know him are very lucky indeed.
