Eric died Oct. 1, 1997. Princeton only recently learned of his death since he had lost connection with the University after leaving. He earned a bachelor’s in English from UCLA.

After graduation, Eric pursued a journalism career. In the 1960s he was associated with Electronics magazine, a McGraw-Hill publication.

His first marriage ended in divorce but produced one daughter, Elizabeth. In 1965 he married Susan Morris. He also served in the Marine Corps.
