On Eric’s legacy and the impact he left on Congressman Estes’ office:

“It's really a sad story, because you have such a great person, like Eric, who was such a nice young man. Everybody that he greeted, he was friendly, and whether they came in the office or [he] talked to them on the telephone. 

“As a parent, you really want your children to have opportunities like this, to come here in our nation's capital, and you want to have a safe environment. You want to make sure that our government is actually helping promote and make sure that we have safe cities in the United States.

“He'd been with us only a month, but he really fit into the office. It worked out really well with him being around and becoming part of our team as we focused on helping provide services for the constituents in the fourth district of Kansas. 

“He was a friendly face and voice when people that he met came in and talked to him. He was actually so enthusiastic to be here in Washington and being able to participate in actually helping make our government run. 

“It's just sad that when you have people that are actually going out and doing bad things that our law enforcement and our prosecutors won't prosecute them for the crimes that they commit against great people like Eric.”
