I'm looking for my old friend Margaret. Was Eric ever married to someone named Margaret? [email protected] If this is the Eric I knew, I'm sorry about his death.

Joanne and family, our prayers and thoughts are with you and Eric. We had a lot of close encounters on the Learjet and Horizon. I'm sure he's having another close encounter as I write this! We love you all! Tom and Kathleen Reichenberger

Sorry for your loss, Eric Lilley saw fit to hire an untested young A&M Engineering graduate way back in 1981 at Bell helicopter in the Weight Analysis Group. Always the kind and attentive boss, a great guy. Eric & I also shared a keen interest in British cars. RIP Eric.
