Hubert John Pischel was born on January 10, 1933, to Frederick and Clara Pischel in Marshfield. After growing up farming in the Marshfield/Auburndale area as the son of a German immigrant, and losing his mother to Tuberculosis at age nine, he traveled for a short time in his later teens, working in South Dakota, and Milwaukee. He came back to Marshfield where he drove semi-trucks for Klein trucking and married Joyce Prust of Marshfield, on June 7, 1952, at St. Johns Church in Marshfield. Together they raised five children and watched 12 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren grow. He supported his family while driving long haul semis for Schneider Transport from 1960 to his retirement in 1998. He and his wife lived on North Galvin Avenue throughout their retirement years. In his earlier years, he enjoyed going dancing, and roller skating with his wife, and later, boating or snowmobiling with the family, hunting, and fishing at the cabin in northern Wisconsin, and traveling across the country, elk hunting in Wyoming and fly-in fishing in Canada with his dear friends. He and his wife also spent a number of winters as "snowbirds" in Tonto Basin Arizona with close friends and traveled to Germany to see relatives there. In his later years, he enjoyed his weekly bowling league, and spending as much time as he could with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and reminiscing with friends from around central Wisconsin.

Hubert is predeceased by his parents, his wife Joyce, brothers Gary and Bernard, and by his sister Margie (Zimmerman).
