He was a devout man and never went anywhere without his rosary in his pocket. Being meticulous, he was always picking up branches, paper and the like to dispose of. He enjoyed the dogs and cats he had around the farm and fishing, until his later years. His two real passions were raising chickens and his garden. Although the size of his garden decreased in recent years, his passion for gardening did not and the same could be said of his chickens, always keeping 15 - 20 on hand. He is survived by his sister, Florence Kreuzman of Batesville; brothers, Carl Wissel of Batesville and Paul Wissel of Oldenburg and numerous nieces and nephews.
