Eric Calimag from Chi-Town was a very funny, warm, and sweet Filipino man and a great Advanced dancer. A lot of fun to dance with.
Eric's sense of humor was just as warped as mine. At one point in Phoenix, when I hugged him, I accidentally brushed against his chest catheter, and he warned me about not pulling or pushing on it. I raised an eyebrow in surprise and apologized, since I hadn't known he had a porta-cath installed. He raised an eyebrow right back at me, opened his shirt slightly to show his cath, gave me a wide grin, and said "Yeah; it makes hot dates REALLY awkward," and we both started laughing heartily.
(Note: "dates" was not the word he used; that's my cleaned-up version of Eric's actual comment.)
That humor, optimism and playfulness is what I'll remember most about Eric.
