Karon, daughters and family,
I'm so sorry first for your loss, and next that it took so long for me to find out about your loss.
Eric has been making wine for me and putting my company name, logo, a picture and some saying on the label for 28 years, as of the 2016 version. And I'm not sure how long we were doing business before that, though I know I was doing 'other business' with his pop and mom up at the bar for years before that:-).
I will forever remember Eric, and will miss him until we meet again on the other side. May God bless you and comfort you.
With love, Mark Haldeman.

My sister Lauren and brother in law Thom introduced me and my husband Donny to Oregon Hill Winery where we met Eric. He showed us how the winery operated, this was my first and only winery tour. Eric couldn't have been more outgoing and generous with his time. I didn't make it up to English Center, PA as often as I would have liked, but when I did I always stopped at the family's winery. You will be missed Eric and I wish the best for your wife and daughters.

Eric was a wonderful person that we at camp have got to know as great friend. Eager to talk about the winery, show us photo's of the family, stories of past, weather and even politics at times(ugh). Oregon Hill has lost a great man.
Karon and family, Praying God will help you find peace, strength and healing at this time of loss. Eric will be deeply missed. Heaven gained an angel

Our annual Bear Hunting trip to Pine Valley Camp always included a stop at Oregon Hill Winery, to sample some wine, but mostly to visit our friend Eric. He never failed to wear his Dead Bear Camp t-shirt on the day of our visit. Eric was always eager to talk to us "flat-landers" from the Oley Valley. He will be sadly missed and our hunting trips will never be the same. "Rest in Peace, Eric"

I am so heartbroken at Eric's passing. I usually venture up that way this time of the year to see him get some Concorde and take some pictures of the beautiful scenery. My condolences to the family. Eric was certainly a special person. He will definitely be missed.

A truly sad loss for central PA and the world. He and his family touched so many lives thru their love of wine making. great family owned business never too busy to stop and talk with you.
I started drinking his wine years ago and was pleasantly surprised when my son Brock acquired a taste for it as well. Every time Brock visited home (Jersey Shore) he and Krystal made a trip to Organ Hill for wine.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Eric's family, peace & love during your healing.

My prayers are with your family. Eric has been a friend for 30 years, can't believe he is gone. I remember when Eric just started selling wine, and I would stop on Sundays just to chat. Believe it or not he only had 3 varieties of wine, and they were delicious. He will be dearly missed

One of our oldest friends in the Wine Family. Eric, his Dad and Mom were gracious hosts before we started some 23 years ago. I haven't see Eric in a few years, as we moved to Ohio, but Jamie recalls his visits more like meeting of old friends than business. Please accept our most sincere and heartfelt condolences, Karon. If there is any help that you need, please call.
