Harriet Eisenberg was my high school math teacher and Lydia Miller was my classmate at both #42 School and Charlotte High School. Mr. Eisenberg was a gracious and loving person who kept in touch with me every Christmas. I will miss hearing from him but he is reunited with Harriet and Lydia once again.

My late husband, Dick Palermo, was a Chem. E.(1959) student of Prof. Eisenberg's. Whenever we went to any U of R gathering, Prof. Eisenberg was so friendly & always remembered episodes in Dick's student days, especially the time he & a fellow student entered a big science contest at the very last minute, then won, to the great surprise of their professor. He continued taking an interest in his students' lives & always seemed to be around. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. Mary Anne P.

Dick was the ultimate gentleman and friend and mentor to many who knew him. We spent many happy times together at The Wild Center in Tupper Lake. I will miss his stories and his words of gratitude for the life he lived.

My cousin was Lydia Miller and I remember how grateful she was to Professor Eisenberg and his wife. I hope the family is consoled in knowing he is resting in peace. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the calling since I will be out of town. My prayers will be with you.
