    I worked with Erich almost everyday as Trindco purchases stone from us. He was such a kind soul who was easy to talk to. We would often chat on the phone for 30-40 mins about life, traveling and more than anything his kids who he was so immensely proud of! He will be dearly missed by me and so many others.
