Eric Huerta, BHS '79 Passed Away in 2012

 

On Septmeber 30, 2022, Phillip Aguirre posted on Facebook...  ·

On this day 10 years ago, we lost a very good friend. Eric Huerta was a Burbank High student. Class of 79. I met Eric in our junior year. I remember being at my locker when I felt a tap on my shoulder and as I turned around and had to look up (way up), Eric said "Hey man, you're into Bruce Lee aren't you? I guess he knew because I was wearing kung fu shoes. I said "I am". He then responded with "Cool man! Me too!" And with a quick Bruce type movement of his hands he turned around and walked away. We became best of friends after that first encounter. It's interesting, other than the friends I've known since kindergarten, my closest friendships were created because of conversations about Bruce. Thank you Eric for being a wonderful friend. Rest In Peace my brother. And thank YOU Bruce.

 

RIP Eric.

Guarding the Playground : Eric Huerta Decides Who Gets In With Hollywood Elite at Roxbury

 

By HEIDI SIEGMUND 

Los Angeles Times

Nov. 30, 1993 12 AM PT

SPECIAL TO THE TIMES

Jan Plouman has been standing outside the Roxbury for 2 1/2 hours. The 27-year-old salesman tries all the angles: The nonchalant look. The bored sigh. An occasional plea.

Lighting cigarette after cigarette, the Holland native loiters in front of the happening West Hollywood club’s roped-off entrance one Saturday, patiently awaiting the moment when the doorman, Eric Huerta, motions him forward and allows him the privileged opportunity of getting in.

But as hundreds of other visitors steadily stream into the Sunset Strip club at Huerta’s beckoning, Plouman, whose ill-fitting suit and dated spiked hair make him stand out in the Hollywood crowd, simply keeps waiting. “I promised a friend in Holland I would visit the Roxbury and tell him if he should come here,” he says. But as another few minutes tick by, he sighs, "(Holland’s) looser. Not that creepy like L.A.”

Welcome to Survival of the Fittest, L.A. style.

With Huerta at the helm of this mutated take on the Darwinian Theory, hundreds of hungry eyes turn to him like a beacon of hope. They want to get in, and only Huerta separates them from this nighttime playground that may allow them a brief chance to rub shoulders with some of Hollywood’s elite.

Standing outside the venue, dozens of people willingly endure the scrutiny--the agony of being judged on what you look like, how you dress and whom you’re with. Like a high school gym teacher presiding over incoming freshmen, Huerta sizes them up with his bright blue eyes, making determinations that seem so random to the folks on the outside.

Although standing on his side of the rope is clearly more enviable than being part of the gathering throng, a night in the life of a doorman is no picnic. In the five-hour span that the 30-year-old Santa Monica resident stands sentry in the evening cold, he listens to hundreds of pleas and more than a few tall tales, and he gets into fisticuffs with a couple of roughnecks.

Tonight, Huerta’s job is even more difficult than usual because the club’s capacity has been temporarily cut nearly in half--from 650 to 350--as interior renovations keep an entire room off limits. He takes a quick inventory of the crowd, and shakes his head. “This is the bad part of the job,” he says. “On a night like tonight, I can’t let everybody in. We’ll have to be even more selective about who we let in.”

Nearby, groans are heard as those still angling to get inside take in the grim news.

“Doormen have a reputation of being (jerks),” says Huerta, who has worked the Roxbury’s door on weekends for the past 2 1/2 years. “I make it a point of trying to be honest. I’ll tell you from the start if we’re very busy and there’s no chance of getting in. Why make (people) wait four hours?”

Although Huerta says it’s part of his job description to adhere to the club’s strict door policy--which maintains that regulars, VIPs and anyone on the guest list have immediate access and others must wait--this rule has exceptions.

Those who are low on the connections’ barometer but high in the gene pool clearly have an advantage.

“Are we gonna have to wait?” whispers a midriff-baring blond in Huerta’s ear. With a swift nod of his head, the blond and her pal are in--sans wait.

“One of the perks of the job,” explains Huerta, as the girl reaches over and gives him a kiss of gratitude. “But actually, we try to have an equal balance of men and women.”

Equal opportunity speeches aside, club protocol dictates that good-looking women are always at a premium and both Huerta and Wayne E, the entrance way security guard who often plays bad cop to Huerta’s good cop, are fully aware of this.

As attractive women exit the club en route to the Gate, another hot L.A. club, Wayne slips them free passes for next weekend and Huerta encourages them to come back inside.

Open shows of kindness to well-heeled strangers has its disadvantages, however. Shortly after a few more women are allowed in, four frustrated youths decide to invite themselves by hopping over the rope. Huerta and Wayne--both of whom stand an imposing 6 foot 5 inches--muscle them back over the rope and shoo them out into the parking lot.

“I got the hardest job in L.A.,” says Huerta, making certain that the four men won’t be coming back. “If everybody did that, we’d be in trouble. They aren’t the kind of people we want in the club.”

As Huerta returns to tending to less troublesome guest-list traffic, three young men from Iran who have been waiting for 45 minutes, practice American accents in an attempt to downplay their ethnicity.

“Just say you’re a dentist from Jersey,” one says to the other, preparing for the moment when the doorman turns their way. But when another half-hour passes without any motioning by Huerta, the threesome reluctantly disappear into the night, in search of another venue with a different policy of natural selection.

“I do feel bad,” says Huerta, after turning them and other late arrivers away. “A lot of people think that all doormen are jerks and don’t have any feelings--and some of them don’t--but I really do feel bad.

“If it was up to me, I’d just open all the rope up and let everybody in. But we don’t have the room to let everybody in.”

Throughout the evening, Huerta--who has been perfecting his craft for seven years at various L.A. venues--continues to turn people away until word gets out that the Roxbury is full and the crowd begins to level off.

“I’ll tell you one thing,” he says, as he eyes the few holdouts. “I wouldn’t endure it. If I can’t get into a club in 10 or 15 minutes, I’m out of there.”

Huerta scans the stubborn holdouts, and about 1 a.m., the rope, for no apparent reason, goes up for Jan Plouman, who quickly scurries in to pay his $10 before the last call.

Within 15 minutes the visitor from Holland rushes back out into the night. “I tell you right now, my friend don’t take that crap here,” says Plouman. “You pay 10 bucks to get in, and stand in line again.”

“I tell (my friend) to go to Papas in Mexico City,” he shouts within earshot of Huerta.

But the doorman’s not even fazed. “I’ve had practice. When I first started doing this, it was harder. Now, there could be 500 angry people out here, and I’m still gonna be calm.”

Dan Davis
Your Grandfathers name is Ed Lowman I’m not sure if he still lives in Burbank Kevin grew up in the house on the corner of Sunset Canyon and Olive Ave in Burbank on the North East corner...

Tom Carlile
Exactly right Mr. Davis! Kevin was a neighbor of mine back in the early 1970s when I lived at Olive and Sunset. Sweet kid along with Kelly and younger brother Kenny. Kenny graduated from BHS in 1981. He was friends in the choir and pop show with my sister in law. I don’t know if father Ed Lowman is still around. But you might try to locate Kenny Lowman for more info about Kevin.

Holly Cleeland
I can’t find any photos from Junior High. Kevin in Junior High was Mr. All American. Smart, Great Athlete, Handsome. Things started to change for him by the 10th grade. He was friends with Brett Saunders, Danny Davis and Kelly Murphy. They may have photosof your Dad. Try Jim Johnson too.

Dan Davis
Bo Williams Left... Me Center ... your pops on the right. Rocking it 70’s style! Around 1979-1980 a dance at Burbank High

One Summer night either going into 9th grade or 10th grade. Your Dad, Brett Saunders, Bo Williams, Danny Davis and I snuck out of the house in the middle of the night to take Brett’s go cart and ride it up at The castaways. So fun.

Holly Cleeland
What happened to his brother Kenny and Kacey?

Peggy Beliveau
Holly Cleeland Kenny lives in Burbank with his dad. I see him a few times a year. Kacey lives in Seattle.

Teri O'Connor
Jojo Renee I knew your dad and your aunt Kellie. I graduated in 1980. I have pics of both of them. I will definitely dig through my stuff and look. Both were wonderful people. Your dad was a sweetheart. Kathy Cone was really good friends with Kevin. Message her. She might have some pics. Also girls that were cheerleaders from clas of 79 might have pics of Kellie. Jodi Stevens Blatz for instance. I have a similar DNA experience finding a close family member and it’s really cool.

Bret Wilkins
He was class of 81.... me and his sister kellie where boyfriend and girlfriend in high school... last saw the family in 2009 at kellie’s funeral 😢 I miss them both

Kevin was a cool guy and we would shoot hoops and lift weights back in jr. high. One time during PE he busted my head open with a baseball bat, (accidental) and my mom had to drive me to st. joseph's to get stitches in my head. I'm on the 4th row, (#27) next to B. Strong

In 9th grade Lisa Lamprich was running for class President. She was a year younger than us. I suggested a sure fire win for her. I said I will work out a skit for the assembly’s with the cutest guys in school just standing there with vote for Lisa. Kevin and Kip Currie were the guys I picked. It was so much fun!!!

Lisa Lamprich
I was running for 8th grade president and Holly, you persuaded Kevin and Kip to dance around on stage to the song "You Light Up My Life", but you reworked all the words with a word play on my last name. Kevin and Kip were definitely the cutest guys and I believe they danced around with lamp shades 😂, while Melissa Walsh played the piano and Harry Olswanger (RIP) also played a role. Jo Jo- Your father was always incredibly nice to me. I also knew his brother Kenny (your uncle) well as he was in my class '82. I knew you Aunt Kellie (RIP), as she was in my college sorority. I'm sorry for your loss, but so glad you are able to learn a little about your father from this FB page. Therein, lies the blessing. ❤️

Gary Patrick Trotta
I knew your father well and am so very sorry for your loss.

Laura Jolls
Jr. Year 1980. The year of the big teacher’s strike. The yearbook company put all the names in front of the picture pages, and listed everyone in order by first name. I wrote in the names of many classmates at the time, your dad was one of them! We graduated in 1981, but I don’t see a senior picture for him in that yearbook. He was very cute, very sweet, very popular! I’m so sorry for your loss❤️


9th grade - John Muir Jr High


8th grade - John Muir Jr High


Maria Aviles
I was the same grade as your Dad. All my friends and I thought he was sooo cute and nice. I hope you heart finds peace in knowing the fondness people had for your dad and how he was loved by his close friends.
