We are sad to say that Eric Jarecki of Precision Industries was involved in a boating accident and has passed. Eric trained with us at MAMA for some time along with his co-workers from PI. Eric leaves behind his pregnant wife Cori and 3 children. Anyone who knew Eric or just wishing to contribute, his co-workers have set up a fund at Security National Bank to help his family. Funeral services will be held Thursday morning at St. Gerald Catholic Church.
