My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of my dear teacher & friend, Mr. Eshack. He was one of the few teachers from my high school days that I can truly say I respected and liked. But I also felt respect from him, as well. He made learning fun, and interesting, what better legacy for a teacher.

Eshack was a good guy! He had a great way of making a person feel important. He always seemed to "find" time, & really listened to the answer to any question he asked. He certainly had a better insight on my first husband than I did.

I am sure he will be dearly missed. You must remember that as long as the memories you shared are alive in, with and among you Mr. Eshack will live on in your hearts. The vast influence he had on so many lives is something he would be humbly proud of, I am sure. God's blessings and comfort to you all.
