I am so very sorry to hear about Del. He was a neighbor of ours when we lived on Island Avenue back in the 1980-90's. Was a pleasure being friends with such a really nice man, a great musician! I'm certain he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Del Eisch has left an indelible mark on my heart. An amazing teacher/ mentor/ friend, i relied on his sage advice and sought his company at every opportunity for musical advice and friendship. My heart hurts hearing of his passing. Jackie and I send our love to Ann, their family, and their wide circle of friends.

My sincere condolences regarding Del's passing. I only knew him through ACB. It was always a joy to talk with him. He was so whitty and I enjoyed seeing him interact with others. Always a smile, kind heart and willingness to share.

Mr. Eisch was my first and much beloved orchestra director and encouraged my love of classical music and my love of violin music. Because of his foundation of my love of music I went on to study privately with Elizabeth Grabow Mueller and studied Music Therapy and violin performance at Alverno and UW Milwaukee colleges. I have a special place in my heart for Delbert. In now my 66th year I still play the violin and guitar. He started all that for me and for many other young musicians. He was loved by his students.

Rest In Peace Mr. Eisch. You and David have left the world just a little bit better place. Thousands of young people have an enduring love of music, and the city enjoyed a municipal band bringing music to all because of your efforts. Walk in perpetual light.
