Unhappy Dr Eric Downing passes away...
101.5FM The Hawk - News Item

This is so sad...we used him for DD and he was quite a character...not anything like you expected that's for sure!
Anyone who met him will agree. He examined DD and declared her 'all there', smart, and developmentally advanced and he so right on the mark.

We got to spend some time with him while in DD's region...took him out to a few meals and it was a pleasure. After we came home I did update him a few times and he always responded.

A loss for certain.

Thanks for posting! I had read this elsewhere this morning. We never used him (never went to Moscow) but I had heard so many good things about him. He seemed to be very dedicated!

Thanks again,
Christina
