Eric was more then these patches I see. I knew him since he was 5 years old. We lived next to each other and knew each other more than what is seen here. He is was so intelligent it was odd. I don't think he ever understood how smart he was. My best friend could figure out complicated math problems and lift more weight than any one I knew. He had a heart that was huge but the courage of a lion. He never backed down from a battle but always helped out the vulnerable. This my friends was a true man. As young as I can remember Eric Lentz never did anybody wrong for what they had coming, and trust me I was with him the whole time. I loved my friend dearly and he will never be replaced. A gaping whole to this day is in my heart for where he should be. A day never goes by that I do not think of him of him and the day we had together, we did some wild things that could never be disclosed but man they were fun and reckless. This shot is for you my best friend you know we will hook up when I get there. Peace out I will not forget. Tears from the ground but not from heaven. KS.
