>>      Hawkinson, Eric Paul
>>
>>      Eric Paul Hawkinson, age 48, of Billings, passed away on Friday,
>> Sept.
>> 1, 2006, at Methodist Hospital in Rochester, Minn., after a courageous
>> battle with a rare blood disease.
>>      Eric was born in Billings on July 12, 1958, to Jerry and Lauris
>> (Collison) Hawkinson. He was raised in Kinsey, where he attended
>> elementary
>> school and attended high school at Custer County High in Miles City, 
>> where
>> he graduated in 1976. He was married to Sandra Hewitt on Feb. 24, 1979, 
>> in
>> Miles City. On Sept. 7, 1982, they had a daughter, Jennifer Lee 
>> Hawkinson.
>> While in Miles City, Eric spent many years working for Cenex Co-op before
>> starting up Hawkinson Air Supply, an Ultralight accessories business.
>> Following the dissolution of his first marriage, he relocated to 
>> Billings.
>>      In the spring of 1986, Eric met his wife and best friend of 20 
>> years,
>> Ellen (Pinnow) Hawkinson. Being an avid R/C enthusiast, Eric spent some
>> time
>> working with R/C airplanes for Al Coomber of Central Hobbies before he 
>> and
>> Ellen decided to put everything they had into starting up their own R/C
>> Helicopter business, Heliproz Inc. With the entrepreneurial skills Eric
>> possessed, he was able to start from nothing and create the biggest and
>> best
>> R/C Heli shop on the planet!
>>      Having been in the R/C industry since 1969, he was extremely
>> knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the industry and was able to assist
>> and
>> excite numerous heli pilots all across the world.
>>      As well as R/C Helicopters and Airplanes, Eric enjoyed spending time
>> with his wife, daughter and seven weezos (cats). Eric was happiest when 
>> he
>> was either spending time with fellow pilots and friends at the heli 
>> field,
>> barbecuing steaks in the backyard with Ellen, Jennifer and the cats, and,
>> of
>> course, holidays and special occasions. He will be dearly missed.
>>      Eric is survived by his wife, Ellen Hawkinson of Billings; one
>> daughter, Jennifer Hawkinson of Billings; his father, Jerry Hawkinson of
>> Gettysburg, S.D., and mother Lauris Hawkinson of Spearfish, S.D.; one
>> brother, Lane Hawkinson and wife Jo of Spearfish; seven loving cats,
>> Ashley,
>> Lizzee, Lucy, Missy, Katie, Wooly and Gizmo.
>>      Eric is preceded in death by his older brother, Michael Hawkinson of
>> Phoenix; and a very special pet and friend, Kelly "Chowdernoogis."
>>      Memorial services will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10, at 
>> the
>> Billings Blade Benders Field, located directly behind Heliproz at 1728
>> Lampman Drive. Entrance to the field is located directly next to
>> Supervalu.
