Chuck Himsel's Obituary

Here is the obituary for longtime Madison College fire services instructor Chuck Himsel. Our condolences go out to Chuck's family.

Charles Howard “Chuck” Himsel, age 67 of Mt. Horeb, WI, died on Monday, February 1, 2010 at his home in Mt. Horeb. Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, February 8, 2010 at Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mt. Horeb. Full Fire Honors will be accorded. Burial will follow at Mt. Horeb Union Cemetery.

Emergency services wishing to participate with an emergency vehicle during the funeral on Monday may obtain detailed information from the Fire Department Mount Horeb website. Please respond using the info on the web site to give the department an idea how many trucks, length of trucks and number of members attending. There has not been a limit placed on the number of emergency vehicles a service may bring. There will not be an emergency vehicle procession. Instead vehicles will be parked along both sides of Main Street and along both sides of 8th street, which is the route that the funeral procession will take from the church to the cemetery. Vehicles should be turned off. Vehicle emergency lights can be turned on when the procession is passing.

The Fire Department Mount Horeb has invited emergency personnel to join them in a walking procession following the Engine carrying Chief Himsel from the church to the cemetery.

Friends may call from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 7 at Mt. Horeb Fire Station No. 1, 120 S. First Street, Mt. Horeb. The Ellestad Camacho Funeral Home, 500 N. 8th Street, Mt. Horeb, WI, is serving the family.
