Bench for Eric on Thomas rd
Alex and Eric Atlee had been very good friends for many years and lived in trailers on either side of their landlord’s drive way and with true Denman serendipity ended up living just a couple of driveways apart on the same street they had live on .
Eric came to us and Alex just at the bottom of the road, this happenstance continued for around 10 years.
To say Eric was one of a kind is selling him short. He fit right with in the Denman community, we are all Normal For Denman.
As problematic as Eric’s life was, he genuinely loved this island and was happy to spend the rest of his life right here.
Alex and I and Veronica, wanted to celebrate his life and passing, Alex with great insight thought a bench at the bus stop at the bottom of the road he lived on would be appropriate, we could not have agreed more.
The design was transferred to the bench by a new friend, Russ, who also made said bench, thanks Russ.
It’s really comfortable too.
