My deepest sympathy to the family of Eric. May your memories of your time with your father/grandfather/relative/friend, help you through the loss of someone so dear to you.
First of all, my memories of Eric go back to my cousin, Cora, who would come to our home for visits during the summer and then one day there was talk in our house of Cora going to marry a man named Eric Matchim. Although that name was a new one in our household, it did become a familiar one that was spoken with love and respect. Cora and Eric would drive from Deer Lake in their camper/trailer to visit mom and dad. They would park their vehicle in our yard and spend a few days there which my parents really enjoyed. Cora was always special to mom and dad and Eric had soon become part of those affections.
Eric will be remembered by myself as being gentle, kind, warm and respectful. Just being in his presence gave a sense of calm.
Not many years ago on one of my visits home, my brother, Ronnie, picked me up at the Deer Lake airport and we decided to stop by to visit Eric & Cora. I will never forget the reception we received at their home; it was such a warm welcome and it made me feel so happy that we had visited them. We got caught up on the news of their family and in turn, they wanted to hear about news in our lives. It was a visit I can reflect upon as such a fond memory which I will always treasure.
Thank you, Eric, for being the person you were in our lives.
Gladys (daughter of Emma & Wesley Menchenton)

To my dear friend Calvin and all the family…sending heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mr. Matchim. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Matchim this past summer in the home in Corner Brook where he said he was renting a room. I watched Calvin show him videos on his phone, which he so enjoyed. We chatted and walked briskly up and down the hallway. It was Mr. Matchim’s sense of humour I was most stuck by. Boy, did he make me laugh. What a gift to make someone laugh! I know how much you all will miss him. May your precious memories give you comfort in the days ahead.

To Calvin and all the Matchim Family
Mr. Matchim was my father in-law for a very long time. He has always been like a second Dad to me. He was one of the kindest, most loving, generous men I've ever known. I've always said to people that if someone didn't like Mr. Matchim the fault was with them. The day after Pam's marriage he said to me, "if you weren't able to drive in I would have sent you a ticket to fly in because I think of you as a daughter, more than a daughter-in-law.". It has been an honour and a privilege to have known him and I will always love him and miss him greatly.

To the Matchim family,
Eric will be missed by everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. He was a gentleman’s gentleman. To my knowledge, he never spoke above a whisper but this was enough to get respect from everyone. He was married to my first cousin, Cora and as stated in the obituary, “the love of his life”. I spent many hours in their company and both Judy and I marvelled at the composure they showed, as they raised their big family. We have only good memories of the exchanged visits we’ve had over the years. Cherish your memories, it will help you through the difficult days ahead. Please accept our deepest condolences. Rest In Peace, Eric.
