To the Bourke family, I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of Eric. I had the pleasure to work for Eric for 6 months about 20 years ago. I can honestly say that they were some of the best days I ever had working any job. Eric was one of the best characters I ever met. He was always unbelievably sound to me and I treasure the memories of those Fruit & Veg delivery days. He truly was a one-off. It was an honour to have known him and I'm so very sorry for your loss.
