Dear Lydia and Family,



I am John's Cousin Wendy. Curtis Engelman was my father, Sharon Dohmeyer (Engelman) my sister. I am sorry to hear of John's passing. I am especially sorry to learn he was living right here in Arizona and I never knew it. Curt passed on last November 8th at age 87. He would have loved to have spent some time with you and John. I believe I met you and your family one time in Wisconsin. I remember John as being a very friendly person - all the Engelman's were nice and friendly. This family was never large but continues to grow smaller. Best wishes to you and if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me -

623-566-3374. A close friend of ours worked with John at the railroad - Henry Salamone. He is the one who gave me the information on John's passing.
