Life EventDateDescription
Birth13 May 1929Harold Eugene Langkamp was born on 13 May 1929 at Iowa.
He was the son of Clarence Bert Langkamp and Emma Caroline Launspach.
Marriage16 January 1951Harold Eugene Langkamp married Maria Gaa on 16 January 1951.
Death2 December 2018Harold Eugene Langkamp died on 2 December 2018 at Dubuque, Dubuque, Iowa, at age 89 Harold E. Langkamp, age 89, of Dubuque, IA, was called home peacefully at 9:05 p.m. on Sunday, December 2, 2018, at ManorCare Health Services, surrounded by his loving family.

To honor Harold’s life, funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 8, 2018, at St. Patrick’s Church, 1425 Iowa Street, with Msgr. Thomas E. Toale officiating. To celebrate Harold’s life, family and friends may visit from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Friday, December 7, 2018, at Behr Funeral Home, 1491 Main Street, where there will be a parish scripture wake service held at 6:30 p.m. Burial will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery.

Harold was born on May 13, 1929, in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Clarence and Emma (Launspach) Langkamp.

Harold honorably served his country with the U.S. Army from 1948 to 1954 in Germany, where he would meet the love of his life, Maria Gaa. The young couple would be united in marriage on January 16, 1951, in Germany, and the two were blessed with 65 wonderful years together, and five children, before Maria was called home ahead of him on August 8, 2016.

Harold was raised with a strong work ethic, and devoted his time and talents to Morrison Brothers for 40-plus years, until his well-earned retirement. He was also quite handy with a tool belt, and enjoyed tinkering and working on projects around the house. In his younger days, Harold enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors hunting and fishing, and in later years went out walking as often as he could. Harold was quite a card shark, a skill he looked forward to teaching all of the children and grandchildren, and was well known for starting them out at a very young age. He was always up for a spirited game of Euchre or Poker with the family, and would occasionally test his skills and luck at the Casino.

Harold’s sense of humor was legendary. He had a playful, joking personality, as well as a sweet way of flirting with the ladies, making sure they all felt beautiful and special. Family, beyond a doubt, brought the greatest joy into Harold’s days, he especially loved any chance that came his way to play with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We are deeply saddened at the loss of such a wonderful, devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, but take comfort in knowing that he and his beloved wife, Maria, are now once again reunited in their Heavenly home.

Those left to cherish Harold’s memory include his children, Harold Langkamp Jr., Giselle Langkamp, Willy Langkamp, Lana Sheldon and Sandy Parker, all of Dubuque, IA; his grandchildren, Amanda (Brian) Wlochal, Brett Langkamp, Jennifer (Bill Hattula) Sheldon and Matthew Parker; his great-grandchildren, Alyssa Sheldon, Michael Wlochal, Zachary Wlochal, Riley Langkamp, Samantha Wlochal and Abigail Hattula; his siblings, Arnold “Bub” Langkamp and Shirley Chapman, both of Dubuque, IA; and a brother-in-law, Tom Piehl, Atlanta, GA.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Maria Langkamp; and his siblings, Leonard (Delores) Langkamp, Merlin “Mac” (Darlene) Langkamp and Beverly Piehl; and a brother-in-law, James “Jim” Chapman.

Rose was born on March 24, 1940 in Shullsburg, Wisconsin the daughter of John McDermott and Virginia (Morris) McDermott. After moving to Iowa in her teens, she met the love of her life, Paul Rupp, and they were married in 1961 at Holy Ghost Church in Dubuque.

First and foremost, Rose was a loving wife and mother. Although she had various occupations after her children were raised, her main focus was always Paul and her children. They were her world. Outside of work, Rose loved getting involved in a variety of activities that often involved family such as bowling leagues, golf at Lacoma, oil painting, and seasonal crafting get-togethers with the grandkids. Rose loved all kinds of crafting and artistic creativity. She was a gifted painter and made many crocheted blankets. Weekends often meant staying up late to watch classic movies with her children, and later on, with any of the grandchildren that were having a sleepover. Rose also loved shopping. But more than any of those, Rose enjoyed holiday family gatherings. Every holiday meant a house decorated to the utmost, filled with children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and enough food to feed an army. At any point during these gatherings, one could find Rose sitting with a child sitting on her lap and a song and smile on her lips. When family wasn't visiting, Rose always had her dogs and cats for company. Every moment with Rose was first met with a song and a "what do you need". Her life's focus was unconditional love and care for her family.

She is survived by her children: Doug (Jane) Rupp, David (Gina) Rupp, and Barbara Krieg, all of Dubuque; eight grandchildren: Katy(Jake) Christensen, Paul D. Rupp II, Elizabeth Rupp, Noah Rupp, Elijah Rupp, Courtney Krieg, Kyle Krieg, and Allison Krieg; three great grandchildren: Leah and Jayce Christensen and Arya Krieg Recker; her brothers Jack McDermott and Danny (Carol) McDermott; a sister Sue(Dwayne) Murphy; former daughter-in-law Lee Rupp; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Rose was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Paul, her son Daniel Rupp, sisters Dorothy Echeagaray, Joanne Kegler, and Pat Ott, and her brother Jimmy McDermott.
