My deepest Condolences to the Erickson’s Family. Always remember playing as kids on the farm around that huge tree in the woods out back. Never got the chance to know all my cousins like I would have liked as we lived on oppose sides of the Lake.

We were deeply saddened at yet another loss to the Erickson family. We were lucky to have Tommy as one of our bar tenders at our wedding reception in 1983. There were two Toms tending our bar, making that evening special. Our cousin, Tommy Erickson and our stepbrother Thomas Ceschin. We lost Thomas last year and now we have lost Tommy. They both will live endeared forever in our hearts and memories.
