Thomas Andrew Eschenfelder

Mr. E is the man that taught me to challenge differences in ability through hard-work and fearlessness. I possessed many fears yet Mr. E remains steadfast in his support which allows me to overcome my fear of failure. I will miss his sense of humor and kindness that surpasses any counselors I ever had. I will always remember the high-fives and shoulder pats that he gave me whenever I overcome a challenge.

I never and never will forget you Mr. E, I will always remember your words...

Mr. E was one of the teachers that made a huge impact during my time at Andrew Hill. Even if you were having an off day coming into choir, you could be certain that by the end of class time you would walk out of the music room laughing and full of smiles. Those are memories that continue to stay with me as I look back on my high school experience. He will forever be missed.

Rest in perfect peace, Mr. E, and praying all your loved ones are comforted during this time.

I have heard my dear friend, the Rev. Karyl J. Leslie, speak many times of her cousin and family. The tribute to Mr. Eschenfelder is very inspirational. I wish I had had the privilege of knowing him and his family. Many blessings to his family.

Tom was an amazing man with a zest for life, a huge smile, and a hearty laugh. He invoked a love for music and learning in all he touched. Heaven's band just gained a great new drummer & leader. Much love to Joan, Cindy, and Lin.

Tom and his sister Sue were dearly loved cousins from my very earliest memories and inspirations to me as years went by. Tom's infectious joy and affirmation, his skills and care, his love for his students and his work, are seen in the tributes from many of his students and co-workers. His smile and laughter would light up a room. I will always be grateful for him and his family. May you all hold wonderful memories close to heart. May you be encouraged and inspired day by day. And may you...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
