  To Natalie & Rudy, so sorry for your loss.  Your Father was incredibly proud you!  He never missed an opportunity to brag about your accomplishments, awards and what good people you turned out to be.  Please forgive me if this is inappropriate timing but I would like to share some Stories about Eric, via a podcast episode published yesterday (PODCAST: “The Builder's Journey” EP246: Eric Baldwin “The Genuine Article” R.I.P.)  No podcast conversation could prepare me for this level of sadness and sense of loss. Eric, you will be sorely missed and never forgotten. Thank you for making me a better person and see you on the other side!  Alex Mintling PS>If anyone knows how to or would like to forward this conversation, please feel free!
