Family
Eric had many facets. It was his "hands to" attitude, his light humor, his artistic sense, his enjoyment in being, that provided such a marvelous counterpoint to his sincere, serious, academic side – Annie Dunlea Hawkins (daughter-in-law) Full tribute
During the war years, in spite of active service and his wife and daughter in Denmark, Eric still found time to write me letters – Marjorie Marshall (sister) Full tribute
He truly was a Mensch: 'a person of integrity and honour', 'someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character' – Andrew Venables (nephew) Full tribute
Most importantly I remember Eric with very grateful thanks for a deed that enabled me to follow the career that has occupied most of my life – Peter Venables (brother-in-law) Full tribute
Eric Hawkins, or Uncle Eric as I always knew him, was to me the most scholarly gentlemen I have ever known, and at the same time one of the most kind – Peter Venables (nephew) Full tribute
I remember "Uncle Eric" as a wonderfully gentle and modest man who always took a lively interest in those around him – Sharon Venables (wife of nephew Andrew) Full tribute
