Albert Engel

I know this is almost 13 years before Albert Engel died but I always wondered what happened to this wonderful family that lived across the street from us on Forest Avenue. Joey and Katie were my best friends and I recall sitting on the front steps waving as they moved to a new house in Norton Shores. I was so sad and missed this family so much. It was so kind of Katie´s mom to invite me to Katie´s birthday party after she moved. It was so much fun! Now here it is so many years later and I...

Still missing you, dad, but glad you don't have to go through the craziness of the past few years and, especially now. If there is an afterlife, I hope you are all playing a great game of bridge! Miss you.....

Albert was one of my favorite cousins and a great inspiration to me growing up. he was 11 years older than me. I remember how kind and humble he was. He had so many great qualities and influenced so many.

Dad,

It's been a year today since you left us. You would be happy to know that we all think of you quite often and when we get together, we talk about you and how wonderfully you affected each of our lives...you must know that we still laugh, cry, and miss you greatly. We are all still 'around-ge-fooling' and remain even closer as a family. We're taking care of mom.... ooh dad, I love you so much..... your Katie

Prayers and thoughts to the Engel family as the one year mark approaches. Working for you both was a privilege. Thank you for the opportunity. I briefly helped out with whatever you needed at your home in Beaufort in 2011. You were the nicest couple to work for.

So many memories of a great man and a great family. New Years Eve football, diving off the dock, the wall of pictures, the laughter. Mr. Engel - you were one loved man!

Dear Eloise, Joe and family, I happened to meet with your old neighbor Larry Flaherty yesterday and mentioned that I had attended the funeral. He had wanted to attend but was unable, but was delighted that I could give him a copy of the funeral service program. The funeral service was memorable, and the display of photos was wonderful. My sympathies to all.
