- Remembered my brother Eric J. Carlson today. He passed away 11 years ago, 4,015 days ago. Man that’s a long time, but sometimes feels like yesterday. Eric was an avid outdoorsman who cared very much for his family and friends. He ran a B&B in the Adirondack Mountains for several years with his wife, Christy. He worked hard and played hard up there. Lots of fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, fires by the lake, fires in the old fireplaces inside. The Inn was closed from Thanksgiving through New Years, so we spent Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays there every year while they were up there. So many great memories. Eric struggled with addiction and alcoholism, which ultimately took his life. Thanks fellas for letting me talk about him today to remember him and for your kind words and fellowship this morning.
