Omer F. Prickel, 84, Batesville, died Sunday, April 19, 2009, at University Hospital, Cincinnati.

Born Oct. 20, 1924, in Morris, he was the son of the late John and Rosa (Roell) Prickel. He married Naomi (Fisher) Prickel July 17, 1948, at St. John's Catholic Church, Enochsburg, and she survives.

The Batesville Eagles Aerie 1130 member served as St. Anne's Catholic Church, Hamburg, picnic chairman for 20 years before joining St. Louis Catholic Church, where he was a eucharistic minister. The two-term Franklin County commissioner was also a Salt Creek Township Advisory Board member. The lifelong farmer liked golfing, taking motorcycle rides and playing card games. The staunch Democrat was actively involved in politics and was a McDonald's morning coffee group member. Prickel and his wife loved to take vacations, with Myrtle Beach, S.C., a favorite destination. The devoted Cincinnati Reds fan attended the Indianapolis 500 for many years. His favorite pastime was lunch out with his wife followed by an afternoon ride in the country.

Survivors also include one sister: Rita Stahley, Cincinnati; one brother: Alban Prickel, Morris; a sister-in-law: Shirley "Scoop" Giesting, Enochsburg; a brother-in-law: Robert Fisher, Greensburg; and many nieces and nephews.

He was also preceded in death by four brothers: Max, Cletus, David and Ivo Prickel.

Visitation is Wednesday, April 22, starting with a 4 p.m. rosary service until 7 p.m. at Weigel Funeral Home. The Rev. Dennis Duvelius will officiate the 10 a.m. funeral Thursday, April 23, at St. Louis Catholic Church. Burial is at the church cemetery. Memorials may be made to the St. Louis Cemetery Fund or Margaret Mary Community Hospital Cafeteria Fund.
