I would greatly appreciate an English translation for the attached tombstone.

Thanks very much!

I can’t read all the Hebrew but the bottom line is his name Chaim Yosef son of Arye Yehuda.

Hi Robin, 

This epitaph is written in slightly poetic style to accommodate in acrostiche the name Chaim Yossef.

Ch With your parting we lost a good friend. 
Y We are bitterly lamenting over your grave
Y All your days you were G-d fearing
M We so much feel suffering and broken
Y May your name and remembrance be blessed for ever.
O And you were a crown for the heads of your posterity.
S You supported the poor with charity. 
F You were the glory of your whole family. 

Chaym Yossef son of Arieh Yehuda

Passed away on the 3rd of Adar II 5695 = March 8th 1935.
Should his soul bound to the bundle of living

Best regards,
