My deepest sympathy to the Engeman Family!
I had Mr. Engeman for Junior Band at Central Catholic High School from 1959 to 1961. We went to Columbia City for contest and did very well! He was a good band director! I am still playing in a band---The Fort Wayne Community Band---I play bass clarinet! Mary Lou Morris Fort Wayne, IN

How fitting that I was conducting the Riley HS Marching Band last night during his viewing, in the same place I had the pleasure of having Terry as my Assistant Band Director my freshmen year. One of the many mentors I had as a student and as a professional teacher! I felt his spirit and am missing my fellow percussionist and friend, Terry!

Mr. Engeman was a gentle giant. Our band director at Adams, he loved teaching. I remember him advising me as I was leaving for college - "the best thing you can teach yourself is a 15 minute nap." Thanks for everything, Mr. Engeman.

Terry was one of my favorite teachers at Adams High School. He was an inspiring leader of the band, and caused me to pursue music as a career. I'll continue to keep your family in my prayers. Heaven celebrates and rejoices with Terry arrival. Heaven's praise band is now bigger and better! Thank you Terry, for making a difference in my life.

"It never takes more than 5-minutes." Terry was a good friend and he touched my life in many ways. Sitting at a busy intersection in Chicago, I thought we would never get through. Terry said, "It never takes more than 5-minutes." And it never does. The drum line in heaven will now march to the sound of a different drummer. I will miss him.

So blessed to have Terry as my father-in-law and friend. He was a man who loved the Lord and his family with all his heart. Unquestioned integrity. A beautiful music man. May you rest in peace.
