H. Tristram Engelhardt

My godfather, mentor, friend -- you are sorely missed.

I just learned a few moments ago that my friend, prayer partner, and ally against the darkness passed away. Although I will miss his presence, I know that he took seriously the mandate to pray unceasingly, and know that his prayers continue. Memory eternal. Remember, O Lord, thy servant, who has fallen asleep.

I just learned that my e.mail to Herman will not reach him...

My thoughts will, of course, reach him inevitably. This will not prevent my deep, deep sorrow.

My condolence to you and your wonderful family.

As the elevator door in this skyscraper opened, the elevator was filled with incense and the whole...

I am stunned and saddened by the passing of Dr. Engelhardt. His seminars on Kant and Hegel were no less than life-changing for me.

My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Susan,

My heartfelt condolences to you and the whole family! I will pray to the infinitely merciful God for Tris's soul and for all of you for consolation and peace.
In Christ

I am so sorry for Tris' family and friends. I know this is a terrible loss. And I wanted to share a memory that goes back a long way. Tris often joined a group of us who lived in Riverside section of Houston (N. MacGregor area). We spent a great deal of time on our bikes in Hermann Park where one of us (maybe the Megows? Maybe Tris?) had a movie camera. This was back in the early 50s. We made movies about a monster named Mucaluk (sp?). The guys would chase him into the now reflection...

I'm very sorry for your loss. He made quite an impact on me when I was a medical student in Houston. Melissa from New Braunfels
