I just recieved this information from Eric’s friend Mary Rogers:

Eric’s funeral is this Saturday (July 28) at 10 am at Augustana Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, SD. A family visitation/memorial will be held at Miller’s funeral home Friday, July 27 from 5-7 pm. Eric will be buried at Hill’s of Rest Cemetery. Cindy Lappegard is offering the Lappegard home for out of town friends. Please nobody pay for a hotel room, their house otherwise will go unoccupied. Otherwise, there’s my parents home, and Erin Strait’s. Cindy would like a bicycle procession to ride in front of the hearse from the church to the cemetery. (It’s a haul, but we’re all in shape, right?) I think this is a great idea, we’ll wrangle up some bikes in SF if you can’t bring your own. Cindy says she will also post this same
information on the caringbridge site, so check that in case I get something wrong here. And I think we all should find time to have a drink at the Top Hat, Eric’s favorite Sioux Falls bar. Here’s Cindy’s email: clappegard2 at msn.com if you want to stay at the Lappegard house. Don’t be shy, she’s a very sweet woman who really wants his friends to be there. Sounds like we’re all on for the benefit.
