Transcriptions for JAMES W. ENGELHAUPT:


In Loving Memory of JAMES ENGELHAUPT:
Husband, Father, Grandfather & Great-Grandfather
Who Passed Away One Year Ago Dec. 27, 1998

He was an awfully good man, never heard him complain,
never heard him despair, if you ever needed help he was there.
He loved his farming, his livestock, and his shop,
But never did he forget to keep his family at the top.
No matter what the crops were, or the prices oh so bad,
he was always thankful for all the good things that he had.
I felt honored to know a man that could always be so good,
he has an inner wisdom that came directly from the heart,
and a never ending patience that from most of us soon parts.
He had a way of looking at life that really made you grow,
life could be good or bad, it's whichever way you choose to go.
A harder worker and a more honest man I have never known,
I wish that I could thank him for all the goodness he has sown.
James has gone to better things, casue I know that he's been blessed,
to stay with God and Jesus forever and finally get some rest.

Written by Pete Snook

Loved and sadly missed by Your family and Friends
