Thomas Eckle

I am a better man for having known him, if only briefly as one of his students at Modesto J.C. He had a positive and lasting impact on my life. He made my world a better place. I am saddened to hear of his passing.

We have been blessed to know Tom & Cathrin, and witness their special bond. There passion for life and each other has always been apparent and inspirational. They often attended our musical performances, and have always been so genuinely kind and supportive. A favorite photograph from one of our performances, was gifted to us by Cathrin & Tom for our wedding, and sits on my desk as a sweet reminder of lasting love. Sending comfort & well wishes to the Eckle family from the bottom of our hearts.

We had the good fortune of sharing many adventures on the Central Coast with Cathrin and Tom. They always involved good wine,good food, any update on the Giants, and lively in-depth conversations on the topic of the day. We are forever grateful for those days, and our friendship. A life well lived Tom, we will miss you so very much. Kim and John

I was a student of Mr Eckle. I really enjoyed his class. He had a great personality and made every subject interesting.

Cathrin my sincere condolences to you and your family. May Tom Rest In Peace
