Urbie loved to work with his hands and tools. He spent many hours and days working with his father doing carpentry. His new found passion after retirement was helping to refurbish the St. Boniface steeple.
Urbie was a devout Catholic and prayed the rosary daily, sometimes more than once. He never missed a chance to recruit new parish members.
He had an outstanding memory. He loved to tell stories from his childhood and growing up in Westphalia. Urbie could make you laugh or smile when you least expected it. He will be remembered having a sweet smile and a twinkle in his eyes.
Most of his life was lived on the farm outside Westphalia where he raised four children - Jeron (Melissa) Henscheid of Harlan, Jim (Joan) Henscheid of Clive, John (Janet) Henscheid of Westphalia, and Joyce (Dennis) Mumm of Harlan. There are fifteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren (and counting)! Urbie was a devoted husband, father, and Catholic gentleman, and loved to help raise the grandkids!
