Eric Thomas Engelhardt

Eric's musicianship, leadership, and engaging personality are the main reasons I started singing w a chorus again. He made Rittenhouse Sound challenging but fun, exceptional yet accessible. He invested so much of himself in our group. Eric will be dearly missed.

I remember Eric as a 10 year old sweet kid. He and my daughter Melissa were the same age. They use to hang out together when he visited. Melissa always loved Eric. She always said how cute he was Ms so sweet. We followed Eric´s accomplishments in his adult years. Prayers and condolences to the family. Eric was so loved by our family. Aunt Rose adored him as if he were her own. His Aunt Betty as well. He will be missed by all.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Eric was one of a kind. His enthusiasm for anything he pursued was second to none; his big smile being his cue that artistry was most important. Excellent musician: vocalist, tubist, people person. NSU is a better place because of you. Galindo, Sue, and Josie.

As a singer with much experience (more than 60 years), it has been a great pleasure to sing under Eric´s guidance and direction. He has been a wonderful teacher and someone whose artistic expression has been truly inspiring. He has made everyone a better singer and our chorus, the best I have ever sung in. He will never be forgotten.

Eric was a giving and passionate musician. He knew what it meant to "step up to the challenge." I will always remember the music he shared while we worked together. "Truly the best."

My condolences to Eric's friends and family. I've never met Eric, but have heard of his immense contribution to the BHS community through members of the Voices of Gotham and Rittenhouse Sound. Thank you for all that you've done to make barbershop a more inclusive space, such as Everyone in Harmony. I am also grateful for the generous scholarship you've set up for musical theatre students in your alma mater. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of many.
