Dear Judy, Mark & Annette, Eleanor & Bryan, David and Erin, and family,
Words cannot express fully my heartfelt sympathy. As you all are coping with the loss of husband, father and friend, may the many years of adventures, family times be a source of comfort. While we cope with the hugh void in the office, I commend Judy and Mark as they carry on the excellent tradition which Dr. Harry established and built down through the years. The community will truly miss all his passion as a physician, along with his skills, compassion, and humor to all those who knew him as Doctor. It has been an honor to have known him, and to have worked for him near 30 years. The treasured memories down through the years I will hold dear to my heart. Alex and I extend our love and prayers to you all at this time.

Sincerely,

Kathryn Panagiotacos, CMA (AAMA)

What a great man!!

We always felt safe and comfortable under his care – in fact as a medical professional, he gave new meaning to the word “care”. We also feel the loss of a good and true friend.

Our sympathies go out to Judy and the extended family, and you are all in our prayers.

I just looked up to Dr. Eichenbaum during Thanksgiving week (I'm 5'2") and was so saddened to hear of his passing. As a new patient of Dr. Mark's, I found the "family" feeling of the practice very comforting. My condolences to Judy and the family.

I met Dr. Eichenbaum in the 70s when I did Home Health care. Every patient that I saw with him was a person first and a condition second. He always had an anecdote about them. He was a wonderful person and a good doctor. My condolences to Judy and the children.

It is with great sorry that I learned of the passing of Dr Eichenbaum. He was a great doctor and I will miss our chats about pharmaceuticals . He had a great sense of humor and i will miss him

Dr. Eichenbaum was a brilliant physician.He was considered the "Physician's Physician".In my practice of Podiatry (Treasure Island) I had many patients that we shared. All held Dr. Eichenbaum in high regard. He was also my personal physician. I looked forward to my office visits with him. I would talk to his belt buckle and his advice came from "on high" My only request was that he sit down when he spoke to me so that I could see his face!. He was truly a "head" above others. When I retired from Practice after 43 years & moved to Pembroke Pines, Fl., finding a replacement to Dr."E" was difficult as he was the yard stick to evaluate by. He & Judy were unique in their practice. They were a perfect team! His medical knowledge and skill in his practice was the epitome of sincere ethical compassion.
My wife & I extend our sincerest condolences to Judy & the family

Dear Mark and David,

It is with sadnesss that I read of your dad's passing. I extend my deepest sympathies to both of you as well as to your family.

I so fondly remember seeing your dad frequently at school functions; he was so proud of his sons. It always amazed me that he made time in his busy medical practice to come to school for particularly jazz band appearances.

Dr. Eichenbaum was a caring professional who will be missed by his family, friends, and patients. His most profound legacy is his wonderful family.

Mark and David, may the wonderful memories you and your family have of your dad sustain you through your grief. My thoughts are with you.

Dr. Harry Eichenbaum was a wonderful being of light. Dr. Eichenbaum cared so much for his patients', and they cared for him as well. My condolences to his family. I know that his light shines through his children, because I have witnessed it with his son, Dr. Mark Eichenbaum. The corridors of Palms of Pasadena Hospital will not be the same without him there.
