For the past year, he courageously battled his deteriorating state condition from Bell’s palsy, renal disease, pseudo tumors and coronary artery disease. He passed due to complications from a heart attack. Emmett was born Aug. 5, 1944, in Galena, Illinois, the second son of Edward and Emma Engel. He was raised in Hanover and graduated from Hanover High School in 1962. Emmett served in the U.S. Army from August 1965 to August 1971. His chosen career was with the Illinois State Department of Transportation. He was a field maintenance engineer until retirement. His choice of recreational enjoyment circled around good company, auction sales, great food, and tinkering in the ever-growing junk yard. Emmett was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Emma Engel and brother Ellis Engel. Emmett’s spirit lives on through his children Eric and Erin (Chet), grandchildren Emma and Kori, brother Eugene (Marilyn), nephew Ryan (Tabitha) and great nephew and niece, Henry and Emily, as well as numerous friends, family members, and devoted auction goers. Emmett’s memorial service is Saturday, March 24, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Law Jones Funeral Home, 309 Chicago Ave., Savanna, IL 61074. If Emmett touched your life, please come, we would love to see you.
