It is with great sadness that I relay this info from Eric's dad Rick and JoAnn Wittler...
"This is JoAnn, Rick's wife. We have just talked with the neurosurgeon. As prepared as we were trying to be, the doctor said it's time to let Eric go. Obviously, Rick is sick with sorrow, and not wanting/able to tell you all of this horrific news. We will fly out Tuesday morning so he can be with Eric and say goodbye. We can only pray the hospital will allow him in. Eric will be cremated out there and there will be a memorial service at a later date. He will try to obtain Power of Attorney so he can tend to Eric?s affairs. God give him strength. Thank you all for your continued love and support and needed strength for Rick."
Needless to say this is not the outcome we all prayed for. For further info, Facebookers can go to Eric Wittler Update to read it all....
We are losing a good friend and fellow racer....
