Charles Eugene “Bud” Englehart

Charles “Bud” Englehart, 86, died Jan. 5, at his home in Lind. Bud was born Aug. 22, 1930 in a little house “down the street” in Lind, to parents Reinhold and Goldie Elizabeth (Fritchle) Englehart.

He had five sisters and one brother.

The only time Bud didn’t live in Lind was during his stint in the Army.

He worked many different jobs as a young man, but after returning from his Army duty he began working for Lind Electric Shop.

Bud and Sharon began dating in 1952 and married in 1953. He continued working for Lind Electric Shop and bought the business from Al Labes in 1976. He and Sharon continued the business, as Bud’s Electric, until he retired in 1992.

His retirement was spent around their yard and home and doing odd jobs for friends. Bud enjoyed watching Nascar racing, football and basketball games on television.

Bud is survived by his wife, Sharon, daughter Cindy Englehart, Shoreline, son Randy (Lynn) Englehart, Quincy, grandson Travis (Vanessa), North Bend, granddaughter, Lori (Adam) Jewell and precious great-granddaughter Evelynn Ann Jewell, Quincy; sisters Juanita Keck, Spokane; Darlene Rose, Santa Maria, California; brother David Englehart (Shirley), Ritzville; and brother-in-law Bill Keeton; numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
