Please accept my condolences on the passing of Wayne. He was a customer of mine at First Bank (now US Bank). Jerry Regstad
To the Habel Family, I am sorry for your loss. I remember Uncle Wayne most of all when we would visit the Habel family in Moorhead and go to the lake (many years ago when we were young). My condolences to you all. Roxy (Guenthner) Roberts

He was born July 18, 1927 in Hastings, Nebraska to Lela and Clifford Habel. While in high school Wayne took an extreme interest and excelled in gymnastics. Wayne joined the Navy and was a part of the Sea Bees in the Philippines, and that is where he found a love of boxing. Following his discharge, he returned to Billings he married Irene Farrell. Wayne had various jobs, including Montana Welding and Radiator and Addressograph Multigraph Corporation. Wayne married Helen Fox of Billings in 1960. In 1965 Wayne got a promotion with Addressograph Multigraph and transferred to Fargo, North Dakota. In 1971 he took on a new profession, with his interest being in real estate, he started working for Amerland Real Estate Company. After 5 years at Amerland he opened his own real estate company called Camelot, and Wayne Habel Investments. Wayne being a man who loved his ice cream, it only made sense when he opened the Island Park Cone Shop in Fargo.
