ABC has paid tribute to Eric from Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds who passed away late last month.
He turned 86 in March and was seen in the show with energetic young Aiden.
He migrated to Australia in 1957, having been a carpenter who then imported timber from South East Asia. He leaves behind two sons, and four grandchildren who live in Batemans Bay.
Eric is the second of the elderly cast members from the Sydney nursing home to pass away, after Grace died, aged 89.
Eric and Aiden formed a very special connection which gave them both much joy. Witnessing this bond on #OldPeoplesHomeAU was a privilege that touched our hearts.
Eric’s honesty and integrity will be missed by all of us.
