I will start one tunnel work and I was just looking his lecture notes, which I took on year 2000 at University of Alberta. I cannot beleive he has passed away, I cannot stop my tears.

Milá Janka, Alica a Jana. Smutná správa o Zdenkovej smrti nás zastihla pri návrate domov z Velkej Británie (Wales) - koniec júna, kde sme boli na návšteve u dcéry Katky a jej rodinky. Správa nás velmi prekvapila a hlboko sa nás dotkla. Zdenko bol náš dobrý priatel ako i celá Vaša rodinka. Naša spolupráca sa zacala už v roku 1980 na Stavebnej fakulte SVŠT v Bratislave a Zdenkovou zásluhou sa rozvila družobná spolupráca medzi SVŠT Bratislava a Univerzitou v Edmontone. Aktívne sa Zdenko zapojil pri riešení návrhov siete rýchlodráhy (metra) v Bratislave a taktiež na riešení problémov výstavby cestných tunelov na dialnicnej sieti na Slovensku. Jeho hlboký vztah k riešeniu problémov výstavby cestných tunelov modernými metódami boli náplnou prednášok aj pre našich študentov a doktorandov na slovenských vysokých školách. Jeho poznatky a skúsenosti sa využili už pri prvej medzinárodnej konferencii v Poprade (okt.1995) ako i v Košiciach (apríl 2005). Bol vždy dobrý a milý poradca. Zákerná choroba nás odlúcila od velkého ucitela a priatela, na ktorého budeme vždy s úctou spomínat. Jeho pamiatka bude vždy žit s nami a v modlitbách budeme spomínat na neho.

Dear Mrs Eisenstein + family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of our dear professor. His courses & teaching have influenced so much both my life & my career and I fell blessed & thankful that I had the opportunity back in the late 80's to take all his graduate courses. The geotechnical and particularly the tunneling world has lost one of its pillars. Dan was both an amazing engineer & a fantastic teacher but also a wonderful human being and we, who met him initially through the U of A graduate classes as his students have now lost a great teacher, mentor and a friend. I am sure that the pain is so much more to you who have lost a great husband, father and a grandfather... May he rest in peace among the righteous and may his memory be eternal. Michael Mathioudakis, Ph.D., PE Albany, NY USA

My dear Jana I regret to hear that our sincere friend Dan had passed away. I guess you know the deep relation which prevailed between Dan & myself since 1983 - more than 25 years - when we met for the first time in Cairo organizing a tunneling course for our young Egyptian engineers. We - in the Egyptian Tunneling Society ETS will never forget his friendly co-operation remembering also that he was the president of ITA during the annual World Tunneling Congress WTC which was organized by ETS ITA in Cairo, April 1994. In the name of board, members of ETS & myself we all would like to express our deep cordial condolences to the family & yourself. May God Bless His Soul. Mohamed

It´s very dificul to me from Brazil to know this notice that Prof. Eisenstein has passed away. Now I send in portuguese: Saudades de um grande amigo, mestre, colega, companheiro que tive a honra de compartilhar grandes momentos técnicos. Que Deus ilumine e conforte sua familia. Sua obra técnica continuará eterna e servindo a todos nós.

We are truly saddened beyond belief that our very good friend, Dan, has passed away at such a young age! He always was a giant figure and the picture of health. We send you our sincerest and deepest sympathy. Dan was a great engineer, leader, teacher, mentor, husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He enriched so many people’s lives both personally and professionally. He had so much more to contribute as a professional and as a family member and we all are saddened by his sudden loss. As you know, we had a special place in our heart for Dan through our work and professional activities especially as a fellow panel member and ITA President which leave us with many wonderful memories of Dan and his accomplishments. Dan was a true friend and colleague. It is very hard to realize that he is gone and we all will miss him tremendously. Although Dan's industry and professional friends will experience a great loss, it is you, the family, who suffer so much at times like this. Please be comforted in your time of sorrow.

Mila Jano, Alice, a Jano, ani vam nedokazu popsat jak se nas tato smutna a prekvapiva zprava dotkla. Zdenek pro nas znamenal mnoho, at uz primo v Edmontonu ci i ted na dalku z Los Angeles. Pro me osobne to byl nekdo, kdo ovlivnil muj zivot vice nez kdokoliv jiny. Jeho mentorovani, pratelstvi a ochota bylo neco, co me i me rodine umoznilo najit nasi vlastni zivotni cestu. I kdyz si dobre dovedu predstavit, jak je toto obdobi pro vas vsechny tezke, musite byt vsechny naplnene spokojenym vedomim, ze Zdenek zil bohaty a uspesny zivot, ve kterem dosahl mnoho a mel kladny vliv nejenom na sve nejblizsi, ale i na sve kolegy, studenty, a vubec na vsechny, kteri ho znali. Jsem rad, ze jsem mohl Zdenka pocitat mezi sve pratele. Moc na vas myslime.

Dear Jana, Alice and Jana With great sorrow we received the news that your husband Zdenek Eisenstein passed away. On behalf of the Czech Tunneling Association ITA-AITES, of which he was an honorary member, we would like to express our deep condolences and sorrow over his passing. Zdenek was not only an expert of world renown, but also our dedicated and always helpful colleague and collaborator. We appreciate everything he has done towards the development of underground structures in the Czech Republic since 1990 – and this was no small thing. We are proud to say that many of us had the great fortune to count Zdenek as a good friend. His memory will always live in us

I was so shocked and saddened hear of Dan's sudden passing. We worked together on various projects at the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Dan was among most favorite consultants. I enjoyed our rare conversations about a range of subjects and learned a great deal from him. His energy, optimism and passion for his work will be sorely missed. I extend my deepest sympathy to the family.

Dear Jana, I was just informed of the sad news of your fathers death .I am very sorry to hear this news. I last met your father in London recently when he gave a lecture about his work on the Vancouver Metro.It was a packed house mainly because Dan was speaking. I always enjoyed Dan`s company and he and l talked in Istanbul in 2005 about my candidacy for the Presidency of ITA.He encouraged me to go for it! He very kindly introduced me to the gathered delegates in Prague Castle on the evening that l was elected President in May 2007 .It was a memorable occasion and of course Dan was well known to many of the delegates in his capital city of Prague.He was a popular figure and was energetic and proactive. It is a tribute to Dan and other ITA Presidents like him that ITA flourishes.That is his legacy. My kind regards to your family and my thoughts are with you. Yours sincerely, Martin Knights ITA President
