That Purdom glue is tenacious stuff and Erik applied it liberally. Only erik could take two men about to come to blows and have them drinking beer together within the hour. So as I am sitting there having a beer with the man whose face I wanted to bloody only moments ago a very content Erik sits there sipping a Bodingtons. Proud that he once again was able to control the situation with a healthy dose of that Purdom glue. And I'm just siting there thinking damn he did it to me again!!.
That was Erik's talent of bonding people together. Erik also had a penchant for collecting unique and eccentric people. for different and original perspectives were of great value and entertainment to him. Without Erik's fastidious application of fresh glue we will slowly drift into our individual paths. But I for one can tell you I will carry that glue until the day I die. Erik had many friends but to many Erik was their best friend.
An old memory of baby Lyric reaching up for me to carry her keeps playing in my head and it just tears me up every time.
