Sadly I just learned of Eric White's passing known here as BigE. His brother reported his passing on Eric's Face Book page in early March, I gather Eric passed about March 9th 2018. We were friends on FB and I hadn't seen anything in awhile and found this when I checked on his page. Unsure what happened, I believe Eric had reported he had kicked the cancer in October 2017, no matter what happened, sad news, RIP BigE.
Eric was one of those forum members that I met in person in the Atlanta area in 2013-15 time frame when I was in the area one day, we had lunch at a Waffle House as I recall.

This is terrible news.?ÿBigE was good people and we'll miss him. RIP, buddy.
P.S.?ÿHe's still a moderator here in the forum. 🙁
Had several conversations with him, over the years. He will be missed.
Sorry to hear of his passing....
RIP
I plan to look him up on the other side.
This is truly sad news...
I remember Eric from the old days; lots of good input through out the decades.
He will be missed.
God speed Big E
RIP
Oh Lord! Have Mercy on Eric's Soul.
I was shocked to read this. I looked back to see when he called me. March 7th. Never met BigE. Talked to him for years. Going to miss BigE!
RIP
Big E shared just enough of his struggles to give a good picture, but he never wallowed in it. He will be missed...
Peace to those he left behind.?ÿ
Goodbye Eric, you were a good person and will be missed.
Sad to hear, it sounded as if he was doing better when he was online here some months ago.
RIP Eric!
Christof.
Thank you Shelby very much for letting us know.
I have lived here in Franklin, Indiana since 1977.?ÿ Eric lived here a little before then, just down the road from Gordon Johncock.
RIP Eric,
You always held head high and were determined to keep going, gonna miss you around here...........
Well damn......I stopped at his apartment a couple of times recently and knocked with no answer and texted with no response. And I was concerned that something like this had happened.
Several months back I met up with him on his return to Georgia and he was in very rough shape. He had not had solid food for years and had to eat amd drink through a tube.
He could not talk because of the surgery that attempted to remove the cancer and any communication was difficult.
He was concerned about being in a vulnerable position and truth be told he didnt live in the best neighborhood since it was low imcome but anyway he was insistent on buying a pistol so I took him to a nearby gun store where he bought a Ruger, 1911 45. He probably never shot it and due to his weakness he had a hard time with it.
This is truly sad. He was good person but that cancer ate him up and he was a shell of his former self and I hope and pray he is in a better place.
RIP my old friend.?ÿ
Awww man... ??ÿ
I use to send him care packages throughout the years. He loved that koozie and T-Shirt!
I think we'll leave him as an honorary moderator here. Many times he helped us out when I was not able due to the deaths in my family.
RIP BigE. We'll miss you buddy!!! ???ÿ
I'm going to see if I can find a way to turn his profile into a memorial as well as other members who have passed away.
