On
Saturday afternoon, the Sityodtong family lost one of our close
brothers. Eric Armington known as EZ-E was killed in a motorcycle
accident on I-93 close to the gym. This Friday at 10am, there will
be a Graveside Ceremony at Canton Cemetery, 1716 Washington St.,
Canton, MA. At
1pm, there will be a gathering at Sityodtong in memory of Kru Eric.
At the families request any donations or contributions made should
be sent to:
Sityodtong, 100 Broadway, Somerville, MA 02145
Make payments payable to Sityodtong Inc. and reference Kru Eric
Memorial Fund. All donations will be delivered to the camp in
Thailand. It was Eric's Dream to be able to give back to the people
who gave to him. He had always spoke of helping support the next
generation of young fighters at Sityodtong Thailand who moved him
so deeply. He had the
great experience of witnessing their lifestyle first hand and would
always speak of their difficult childhoods. A memorial at the camp
in Thailand is scheduled to be built. Sityodtong USA is also
starting the Kru Eric Thailand Excursion Scholarship. This will
provide a trip to Thailand once a year for Students of lesser means.
