Not sure what to say?

Dr Engle was one of the kindest most respectful person I have ever had the pleasure of being colleagues with.
I will miss him personally bringing X-rays to my office on his lunch break and working with him.
He was a very kind and generous man who did so much for the community. It was a honor to have been able to work with him. He will be missed very much.
Sending out my deepest condolences to all his family and friends
Sincerely Denise Assogna

Dear Dean and Peter!
Sadly, here we are again at these crossroads of life, after having spent many happier hours talking at the crossroads ( or-crosswoods- aka Warnock's yard ) of Daisy Lane-Merry Hill. It was always reassuring knowing that the Engels were just down the hill, and then, in these last years, that the patriarchs of Merry Hill- Walter, Ed, Andris- were holding down our ancestral fort. We will have to step in to make sure that the light keeps shining! With fond memories...

Dr. Engle was a consummate professional. Although our careers overlapped for a short time, I consider my fellow Colombian ( there aren’t many of us here in Dutchess County) a respected mentor in the profession. He lived an exemplary life. RIP.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Deepest condolences. ~Tiger Family (children of Barb and Mel)

Dr. Engel had an office on Noxon Street. His wife was his assistant. I was 8 years old. It was 1954.
Thus began a relationship that lasted 55 years.
I was his last patient on the day he retired because I was his " oldest" patient.
Rest in Peace.

I was one of the patients of Dr.Engel for about 18 years,Till I left the Children's Home.He was such a kind person and had a heart of gold.RIP Dr.Engel.

Dr. Engel was a great Dentist and such a kind man! He was our family Dentist for many years! He had the patience of a saint with my three boys! Heaven has a bright new angel!

Dr. Engel was my Dentist and friend for many decades. Always upbeat and a story to tell. I spent many hours in the chair at Fox Street and got to know his family without really meeting them in person. My parents also went to Dr. Engel and would say "oh I have an appointment coming up with Walty". We would all smile and think of the man who had saved our teeth for so many years. Then we would remember one of his great stories and really smile. I am thinking of him right now and ......yes...
